The likelihood of a person correctly opining on the president is 50/50. Effectively, there’s no benefit to piling on to the mass of muted dissent or agreement.

There’s a difference between screaming into the echo chamber and support.

And in any case, I would disagree that we should just not talk about politics. If nothing else, there doesn’t have to be a greater benefit to calling the president a shitheel for it to be worth doing if you think that.

The value of political discourse and dissent is inherent to the act, with it being a nearly universal litmus test for oppression. But actions with effect are a better option, always. Organizing, organizing, organizing! Ambient dissent is a great base to build off of, but it’s just the building blocks set properly, and there’s plenty already. Stack higher!

If we really want to be pedantic, it varies moment to moment, but averages slightly below 50%
