When asked what the worst thing is about Republicans, the most common response among Americans is President Donald Trump or loyalty to him, while the most common response about Democrats is that they are weak and don’t stand up against Trump or for what’s right, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel conducted April 24 through 28.

In the poll, Americans were asked what they disliked most about both the Democratic and Republican parties in an open-ended question. For each party, only one single response broke double-digits: 10% of Americans said that the worst thing about Democrats was that they were weak and did not stand up to Trump or stand up for what was right.

Combining two categories about Democrats: that they were too liberal, criticizing their policies or calling them “too woke” added to 12%.

And 12% of Americans said the worst thing about Republicans was their loyalty to Trump or just named Trump himself.

All other responses were 7% or lower.

Do they even know nobody believes them anymore, about anything?

The worst thing about Democrats is themselves.

Well, he’s Hitler. Everyone in the country should totally oppose him 24/7.

Yeah, pushing back sufficiently is when the bomb actually WORKS for Boris and Natasha.

Or, a lot of Democrats support what the PRESIDENT is doing.
Like the rest of us that see the importance of taking on LONG ignored problems.
Trump 🇺🇸👍

It’s not hard to find 10 or 12 percent of the population that thinks that. There were 16 or 17 other possibilities that split up the rest of the responses. The questions are meaningless. They don’t give a picture of what most people are thinking.

This is a teachable moment for the left and the fence-sitters especially. Many republicans started out as democrats and they can see both sides better than the rock solids amongst us. How to cut them off at the words fascist and Hitler? Trump never killed his enemies and and a fascist wouldn’t let them disagree. Trump is bringing them over. No kings? That’s too easy.
