Concerning that it wasn’t 100.
Nah, like 20% of people everywhere are just dumb as rocks - in the US it looks like it’s grown to be at least 35%… but there’s no place on earth free of idiots.
Oh also, there’s some small percentage of people that are just edgelords… whether you count these people as idiots is probably determined by how recently you were a teenager (yes, we were all dumb once)
6% were in favor.
I’m surprised it was that high.
It’s basically little more than statistical noise at that point. You can always get 4% of people to agree to something.
Basically lizard man’s constant
Pretty much
I can’t think of a single thing that 100% of people from any decently sized group will agree on. Some will just pick the opposite to be contrarian. Some just don’t care.
The Lizardman Constant is about 4%. So that leaves 11% unaccounted for.
Thank you for that lol. Now I have a term for those types of answers.
TIL, Thanks!
Yeah, you get some silly answers from a small percent of the population, like this one:
Seven percent of all American adults believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows, according to a nationally representative online survey commissioned by the Innovation Center of U.S. Dairy.
I am choosing to believe that 7% of American adults think it’s funny to answer questions like that. Even though I know it’s wrong. God dammit.
Our education system is just cooked huh.
I’m not sure I’d trust the results at all if they said 100% of people polled voted the same way…
Might be because Trump threatened them.
Almost every european state has the far-right cancer (to varying degree, but nowadays unfortunately often 2 percent digits), which AFAICS are pro-Trump. I don’t think it’s any different in Greenland…
“Please, America. Take away our healthcare. Not just for us, but for our descendants!”
Maybe one day the people in the USA will reject the malignant tumor named Donald Trump
The only positive thing about Trump really is, that he’s old, and with his lifestyle may not live that long anymore.
But even then, the damage he’s already done, and does in the future may prove to be permanent for the foreseeable future…
JD Vance is waiting on the wings.
Anyways, it’s not Trump making these decisions. He’s just signing whatever the Heritage Foundation puts in front of him. Trump isn’t even capable of actually writing an executive order.
Terrible people live long, Strom Thurmond lived to be a hundred
If you are a religious person the following from the Quran might provide some comfort:
And let not the disbelievers think that Our postponing of their punishment is good for them. We postpone the punishment only so that they may increase in sinfulness. And for them is a disgracing torment. (3:178)
I don’t think Trump increasing in sinfulness is a good thing.
It is not a good thing for his victims, that’s for certain, just like the pharaoh. But God is allowing him to commit countless sins so that he will never be forgiven and that he will deserve a severe punishment.
The pharaoh drowned, maybe climate change will make Mar-a-Lago under water and Trump will drown with it.
As I write all of this, I don’t actually believe in any of it. Just an amusing thought.
Edit: Lemmy, where we downvote amusing theological thoughts. Trump is going to hell, what more do you want?
Imagine getting Eric or Don Jr as president
Next up: Trump declares Greenland a terrorist organization
Can we join Greenland instead? If they’re majorly rejecting trump then they’re smarter than the majority of voters in the US.
I’m surprised that it wasn’t higher
As an American, I strongly recommend that all Greenlanders oppose joining our shit show. I wish I could leave.
For those who want to read longer, the original article in Berlingske. Not paywalled:

WTF is wrong with the other 15%
Probably people who think there is a financial benefit to them if it were to happen
Good odds Trump would fully deport the entire population.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Greenland
Inuit are 89.7% of the population. So probably more like more like 89.8% will get deported. The 39 people there who are US citizens are probably okay tho
It’s those homeless guys they bought dinner for
Exactly, it’s like fifteen idiots in a diner.
I think they would just ignore Trump. It’s bad for your health to answer to such people like him. He’s a narcissist.
I hope they’re not forced to join us anyway…
WHY IS ANYONE TAKING THIS BULLSHIT SERIOUSLY‽
The fact that the US has a blithering idiot for a president needs to be taken very seriously.
The evil, detrimental shit he’s actually doing is what should be taken seriously. Not this smokescreen bullshit that’s meant to distract. And yet here we are going so far as to take polls for the daily slot it now has in every newscast…
Not everyone is a US citizen. One does not simply threaten 450 million people with war and then complain that we’re counting our stealth subs.
But we have no real way of determining what’s smokescreen and what is actually intended. It’s equally horrible and unreasonable.
I suppose im not directly affected if Trump abuses Greenland, but I’m sure they care
Because the US has a history of buying islands form Denmark — that’s where the US Virgin Islands come from.
Plus that’s an example that escalated …
Ultimately, the U.S. would successfully pressure Denmark to sell the islands by threatening a military attack on the neutral nation during World War I.
So…why do you think its bullshit? Trump was talking about this last time so it doesnt seem like one of his usual distractions and lies. Seems like he actually wants to take it. Every once in a while one of his series of lies is true.
If you’re Denmark, you don’t have the luxury of ignoring this. Trump will escalate this before it’s resolved. My guess is he’ll order the military to stop paying for the US military base in Greenland, start operations that exceed what is in the agreement, and basically try to provoke a response to use as pretense for further escalation. It’s already gone too far for Trump to just back down.
Who are those 5% ?
You mean 15%?
6% actually
Like the 9% undecideds are any less insane
I’m shocked that it’s that low.
Edit: Oh, hang on.
Note: The poll conducted by Verian had 497 web interviews Jan. 22-26, among representative samples of Greenlandic citizens aged 18 or older. Statistical uncertainty on the responses is about 3.1 percentage points.
So this is meaningless.
There’s only about 56,000 people in Greenland. While the standard is 1,000 people in a sample at some point you start having difficulty getting to 1,000.
I’m surprised this actually went for a vote but good on the government for upholding democracy and giving people the chance to have their say.
