WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Days after Democratic President Joe Biden gave a fiery speech attacking former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies as an extremist threat, a Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Wednesday found a majority of Americans believe Trump's movement is undermining democracy.

Fifty-eight percent of respondents in the two-day poll - including one in four Republicans - said Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement is threatening America's democratic foundations

Can we talk about modern Social Anthropology here?

I think I'm fascinated by the way societal norms may have changed because of Covid. And I also think that there may have been a seismic change after 9/11?

The feeling of lack of control in what happens in the world, so we sublimate? Kind of explains why nothing is a big deal after those two horrific events?

Thoughts?

Holy cow - bet DOJ has the nexus! CNN just showed zoomed in subject

of one of the files. It related to secret satellite imaging project. I don't remember this, but evidently trump posted a picture that was taken by this spy satellite! ? In other words, this provides a clear connection... He's got a file on a subject he's on record as being very interested in.

You go DOJ!! Rubbed it in big-time. "We KNOW!!!"

FBI: Trump mixed top secret docs with magazines, other items

https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-mar-a-lago-criminal-investigations-government-and-politics-4ee554f467252929f96c70d42a93a05d



WASHINGTON (AP) — Fourteen of the 15 boxes recovered from former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate early this year contained classified documents, many of them top secret, mixed in with miscellaneous newspapers, magazines and personal correspondence, according to an FBI affidavit released Friday.

No space at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate was authorized for the storage of classified material, according to the court papers, which laid out the FBI’s rationale for searching the property this month, including “probable cause to believe that evidence of obstruction will be found.”

The 32-page affidavit — heavily redacted to protect the safety of witnesses and law enforcement officials and “the integrity of the ongoing investigation” — offers the most detailed description to date of the government records being stored at Mar-a-Lago long after Trump left the White House. It also reveals the gravity of the government’s concerns that the documents were there illegally.
