Sadly, half of voting Americans think you’re a fascist, Chinese bot.
Or a woke commie queer groomer in drag.half1/10th of voting Americans.Eligible, not voting. It’s roughly 1/3 of voting folks are maga.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
EVERYONE here has the internet, yet 4 wrong answers before this…!!!
maga is 1/10th of voting Americans?
Remember only 2/3 of the country votes that has the ability to voteBut even when someone doesn’t vote, that doesn’t mean they aren’t Maga?
So if half of voters are Maga and 1/3 of eligible voters actually vote, it’s almost impossible to say something about the population as a whole. We can say about 16% would be the lower limit, but it could be a lot higher. If we take the voters as an unbiased large sample, we could extrapolate and say 50% of the population is actually Maga. But since voters are by definition a biased sample, it’s hard to say what the actual number would be. Especially with humans, that have complex interactions, like a certain persuasion could actually mean someone is less likely to vote. Or the other way around, where wanting to vote makes one persuasion more likely. This makes the whole thing pretty hard.
TLDR: Math is hard.
so, so wrong…can’t you google?
Unfortunately it’s way more than that :(

Woke commie queer is my middle name
Trump isn’t a proper representation of a New Yorker. I doubt he even likes baseball.
Yankee is a nickname for all Americans in the rest of the world.
I still don’t understand how a bunch of Southern, trailer park rednecks who hate new York city rich people, decided that a Manhattan millionaire was the guy to vote for. Why do they think he’s anything like them or has why idea how they live? He’s literally a northern, cartoonish carpet bagger.
I’m sure there’s deeper takes on this but from my understanding, it’s a mix of things: 1) he convinced them he’s not like other politicians (which is true, he was not a politician at all) and 2) he convinced them he’s the “pull yourself up by the jockstrap” American dream and everyone can be like him - that’s just the typical American lie they’ve been using for decades if not longer. Then sprinkle a little bit of christofacist fear mongering in there and you got some undereducated folks excited to see someone who’ll “fight” for their American dream.
I’m guessing either a brit, an aussie who hates rhyming slang, or a VERY unwilling to adapt southerner.

for some reason Donald Trump doesn’t go in the category of “people named Donald” in my head. like Tom Cruise, he’s not a Tom, or a Thomas, he’s always Tom Cruise.
when I hear somebody else’s first name is donald, it doesn’t make me think of him
Yeah, but it makes me think about Donald Duck
I think of a rarely seen side character from a rather obscure British sitcom
Not at this time, but if he were to create such damage that it impacts a generation and unanimously agreed as a villain then at that point the name Donald will be associated with him. Ex: the name Adolf is associated with Adolf Hitler.
yeah but that happened like once
Osama and Mao, but yes it’s increasingly rare. I think we tend to associate historic people with their last names more than their first names.
Mao was his surname.
I keep forgetting that Asia mostly have the family name first. But Osama still stands.
yeah, for most of the western world that was the first time we’d heard that name.
What about Donald Fuck?
Donald as a baby name has been steadily dropping in popularity since at least 2000.
You need to search here (can’t directly link the result):
My link was bad. This should be closer.
https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/rankchange.html
It quickly reversed in 2022. More likely a statistical anomaly. Why not go up in 2016 to 2020?
Hey, whoa! C’mon now. We don’t know that’s yhe reason. Retro cartoons are on the rise. So much so that MeTV just launched a retro cartoons network called “MeToons”.
How do we know it’s not because of Donald Duck???
#MeToons
uh, oh! hugged to death!
This website is temporarily unavailable. So I can’t check their source. How do they claim to be representative across the whole of whatever region they’re polling?
It’s not from polling. It’s from the Social Security Administration. I gave a better link in a different fork of this comment thread.
Edit: It’s for USA and anyone who applied for an SSN. So everyone but some off-the-grid nutters.
Data Source
All names are from Social Security card applications for births that occurred in the United States after 1879. Note that many people born before 1937 never applied for a Social Security card, so their names are not included in our data. For others who did apply, our records may not show the place of birth, and again their names are not included in our data. All data are from a 100% sample of our records on Social Security card applications as of March 2024.
I don’t think people 20+ years from now will instantly jump to Trump when they hear Donald. Just like how if you meet George you don’t think of Bush.
Yeah, Adolf really doesn’t bring anyone notable to mind.
Trump may be a very poor candidate, but he didn’t kill 13 million people.
1: Yet.
2: That isn’t even the sum of the Holocaust, much less combat casualties from the USSR alone which are absolutely on his head.
Edit: Tbf, the Holocaust numbers only beat that if you include Soviet POWs being genocided in the prison camps, so that is kind of double dipping.
Let him have another term and we’ll see how he measure up. And he’s up to a few 100k so far in my books.
Yeah, he only killed about 1.4 million.
Actually curious, what is that figure?
Number of excess deaths from COVID.
What counts as excess?
Dammit, Donnie! These are rookie numbers! You gotta get those numbers up!
Not yet. He’s certainly working on it.
Estimates are between 50 and a 100 million people.For example USSR is said to lose around 18 million people in that war.
I would suspect that people can do basic math and realize why someone was named Donald if they’re born near today. It might not immediately jump to mind, but it also wouldn’t be subtle. I would bet no one else is naming their child Donald unless it’s a family name.
It was a perfectly good name until that no-talent ass-clown ran for president.
Why should I change my name, he’s the one who sucks
Nice. Office Space reference.
Remember when Khaleesi was a popular name?
Which I never understood. Khaleesi was her title, not her name.
It´s equivalent-ish to naming a kid King or Czar or something.Removed by mod
hm, good point.
It’s even worse, because my understanding is that “Khaleesi” doesn’t actually mean “queen”, but would more accurately mean “concubine/wife of the king/khal”. I believe the queenship is only implied after the death of the khal.
Not really implied by the term itself, since after the death of the khal the khaleesi are basically exiled to the capital. Daenerys only brought greater meaning to the title when she used it in her conquests.
Thanks for that clarification!
Donald means something like “ruler of the world,” so not far off.
My niece named her daughter after Bella from Twilight. At least her full name is Isabella, but the inspiration is there.
Tell her to tell people she’s named after the Phineas and Ferb character. There’s zero down side.
A lot of us jumped on the fad of naming our daughters after Game of Thrones characters, especially the ones popular in the earlier seasons. And then D and D came along as show runners, and fucking wrecked everything for our baby girls. So Hodor, I regret getting sucked into that show and hope you’ll forgive me one day.
My son Ghsrrfgff really hates me 😢
I like the name actually and don’t think it’s bad at all. The shower thought OP posted just reminded me of it. This dothraki female liberator saving her people —-> dragon firing everyone lol
I don’t think Khaleesi or Donald are going to be names that are dunked on in the future, at least not that badly.
Reminds me of that other name that kind of just withered away. What was it?
Oh yeah…
Adolf.
Why though? Glover is cool.

They’ll make lovely couples with the girls named Khaleesi
I feel bad saying it but a lot of them probably aren’t vaccinated, so
There were a lot of German boys called Adolf back then…
A lot.
All of them.
Last few years, but named Donald? They were horny for Trump. Last few decades? Still could be horny for Trump @_@!
