• High dissatisfaction confirmed: Recent polls (ABC/Ipsos, Reuters/Ipsos, YouGov) show roughly two-thirds of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track, with majorities citing cost of living, inflation, and affordability as top concerns in mid-2026.
• Specific grievances align: Economic anxiety over prices, housing, jobs (including H-1B competition), and immigration rank high in surveys, matching the frustrations voiced in replies to Torba’s post and broader public data.
• Leaders’ disconnect plausible: Polls frequently note low trust in parties and officials as out of touch, but “powder keg of righteous rage” is subjective rhetoric—discontent is widespread yet has not translated into large-scale unrest.

[Andrew Torba @BasedTorba]

The average American is a powder keg of righteous rage right now and I don't think any of our leaders understand just how bad it is on the ground.

Palantir, $PLTR, CEO Alex Karp has said that executives who brag about their AI cuts might as well ‘sign up for the Bernie Sanders manifesto’

If I were in Senator Bennet’s shoes and I wanted to be Governor, I would resign from the Senate.

That is the right thing to do. I wouldn’t play “King Maker”, I would follow the rule of law as laid out in the Constitution.

@RepChipRoy What we need is a bill that bans foreigners from having any access to US Citizen data.

Every Big Tech company, Bank, Hospital, Airline, etc., is offshoring our data straight to India... the most untrustworthy country on the planet.

That will fix everything.

@War4theWest @KristiTalmadge I believe the demise began with the Neoliberal economic order that was the result of the stagflation of the 1970s. This actually began with President Carter whose economics were not aligned with the Democratic Party of the time.

@amitylee13 Hear me out:

[Kristi L. Talmadge @KristiTalmadge]

I remember making 6 figures in my mid 20s and being so excited for life and my family.

Then my own government and greedy investors destroyed my life and 10s of millions of others by choosing a corrupt system of cheap foreign IT STEM H-1B labor.

My American dream died long ago.

A Santa Monica resident recorded a video of a mountain lion hiding among the vegetation in the backyard of her California home on Friday. An official with the CA Department of Fish & Wildlife said the agency was to "capture, collar and relocate" it.

Peter Thiel should have his citizenship revoked and assets seized.

You should never be allowed to utilize the American system to become wealthy and then flee because you think times might get tough.

@War4theWest @saarvicular Monetized it.

@War4theWest @saarvicular Silicon Valley was built by DARPA. Bill Gates left Harvard for the 8088 chip that was declassified in the 1970s. Unix was built by Bell Labs. The internet resulted from DARPAs Aloha Net in the 1970s. H-1b started in the 1990s after the Pay Pal Mafia monitored it.

[War for the West @War4theWest]

@saarvicular Indians built Silicon Valley? Are you HIGH?

[mdwaldman @mdwaldman]

@lookner I’m sure your brother’s dog is relieved to hear that.
