Public confidence is continuing to decline, according to a recent poll from the Trafalgar Group partnered with the Convention of States Action. The survey conducted in December recorded responses from 1,076 Americans who seem to be concerned that society is completely in a state of decay. Question one: “Do you believe American society and culture is in a state of decay or a state of progress?” An alarming 76.8% of respondents reported that they believed society was in a state of decay, 9.8% felt society was progressing, and 13.4% were unsure.
Confidence is declining on both ends of the political spectrum: 61 percent of Democrats, 85.9 percent of Republicans, and 81.8 percent of No Party/Other reported that they believed the country was decaying.
“Americans have always been fueled by hope and optimism, and now are united in disgust. Our leaders in Washington, DC are setting the tone, and clearly we need dramatic changes there in both parties in the next election,” Mark Meckler, president of the Convention of States Action group, stated. “United in disgust” certainly describes the way the world feels. The “leaders” in DC have abandoned the people as we go on to year three of the COVID power grab. Unemployment is down, wages are up, but inflation is so high that the average person is scraping by. The rules constantly change, and society at large has been pushed to a psychological breaking point by governments.
Our model indicates that this private wave will continue for years to come before peaking in 2032. Government has lost the public’s trust entirely. This is why I say their Build Back Better agenda will not succeed, for the people are beginning to realize that the “new norm” is an unacceptable way of life.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

The poll does not register the degree or depth of the disgust each of the 85 % of Republicans have with the government, only gross the number of people disgusted with the far leftist communist dictatorship. After they said they were disgusted, they should have been asked to quantify that disgust from 1 to 10 ( 10 being J6 should be repeated across the whole country with guns blazing).
When support reaches 0%, we’ll be on the right track. The more confidence fades, the better the nation and our prospects for the future.
I take no real pleasure in saying it, but it would be a positive for what remains of the USA for it to experience (another) military fiasco in (another) foreign country where we have no business being in the first place. This time a serious fiasco, with serious humiliation.
I think Vlad would agree.
Have you ever noticed you can’t spell Economy without Con?
Seems oddly appropriate when you consider everything in our economy seems to be a con.
Can we please get on with the national (peaceful) divorce?
