It seems that people like being in crisis, rather than having stability. (lemmy.world)

This is a good example of a poorly worded poll question, assuming that the respondents were actually asked "the United States is in a Constitutional crisis". Different people can answer that question "yes" with wildly different mental states. For example:

Someone who views Trump's actions as unconstitutional and sees a need for congress/the courts to reign him in could say, "yes" as they see this as a Constitutional crisis.
A full blown MAGA believer could see Congress's and the Court's attempts to stop Trump as unconstitutional and prompting a Constitutional crisis.

Without followup questions, all this poll question would tell us is that a bunch of people see "Constitutional crisis" as a fitting description for the current state of the US government.

Thank you!

For anyone who listened to anything coming out of the right wing media, they have been screaming constitutional crisis since the first of trump's trials.
