This poll shows just what I suspected (almost)

Dear Lord

 

Really sad.

 

Hilary first stated that (R) were deplorable, now she's asking for (R) to be deprogrammed.

Nope, that's not egging on the (D) base at all...

 

This should not be surprising to anyone.

 

There is no other solution for people who believe that JFK, Jr. will be VP in 2025 than deprogramming. They need the same treatment as Xenu believers.

 

30 percent of the population has always been stupid. I thought it was just trump supporters but perhaps it is the far left wing too.

 

Good grief. Getting harder to see a decent outcome here.

 

Pure science. 2008 registered voters make up a large portion. Got it.

 

This is why stockpiling quality ammo is the only true investment for a long term future.

 

Erick Fromm " Escape From Freedom" comes to mind. Some just want that strongman and don't want to be bothered with the hassles of self governance.

 

Bad stuff.

 

Been saying that for a while now.
Not just the alt right.

 

This is why you put up guardrails to prevent this type of polarization.

Unlimited money in politics has been horrible for Democracy.

These 24/7 channels whose profit models are based on division, that have become so embedded with the party they back, has been increasingly problematic for Democracy.

If you don’t protect it, it will fall for some version of Authoritarianism.

 

I am skeptical of this survey. The framing of the question always sways the response.

My eyes tell me the far right is physically militant with guns, ammo, MRE, bunkers, etc and on balance the far left is verbalizing a fear based response, but has nominal chatter / assets — it’s a response for the government to put down the far right extremists.

The creeping of those ideas into the middle is a construct of social media and fear.

These ideas have existed for decades. When was the last politically motivated and consequential assassination attempt in this country?

Spoiler: Answer

Every modern President has had an assassination attempt on his life

Now you’re starting to get it.

 

Actually, yes it should. It is to me.

This is like football fans getting so sick of getting jobbed by the refs, wanting to scrap football altogether, for street gang fights between the entities represented by their respective teams.

 

Be interesting to have seen a poll from 1776.

 

It is like that, but that shouldn’t surprise you.
