I checked 538, it’s real. Amerikkka is just one giant lynch mob.
“Trump do things, big strong man do things is good.” — 50% of amerikkkans
Also saw a YouTube video where a trump supporter thought that foreign countries have to pay tariffs when trump raises them.
I never get polled. I have been around for a long time and I participate in civic life. but I never get polled. I think the closest I ever came was probably 20 years ago I was speed walking through a dying mall to try and snag something for a gift, and one of those professional survey people tried to solicit me to take some surveys and I said no thank you without slowing down.
apparently the mall slowly dying made the mall owners want to lease out space and give those commercial survey companies permission to make being in the mall even more unpleasant.
anyway, I don’t know where they find these people… the people dumb enough to fork over their information for unsolicited advertising and mailers. I’m guessing the whitest suburbs of the largest cities aka the most grotesque parts of Burgerland, where they are already selecting from a pool of the most unsavvy, bumblers.
like that other headline, where like 15% of Democrats they surveyed in the last days said they wanted Musk to have “A Lot” of power over the government. who are these people? I know bozos exist but it’s like the system selects for them as representative.
its like that lady at the Iowa caucus who was a big Pete Buttigieg fan that was also homophobic and had no clue he was gay. that cannot be a real demographic.

I am saying the samples aren’t random. I am saying the surveys are not even half-decent.
I am saying the system is compromised purposely to serve cultural hegemony.
Citations Needed routinely talks about the phenomenon of using shitty polling to get a desired result for the purpose of convincing leftists that our ideas and values are uncommon and unpopular while giving cover to politicians and fascists to warehouse minorities in prisons and do imperialism.

I always put it like this.
In my daily life, 90% of the time when I talk with people they, in general, agree with my politics. And this includes supposedly controversial opinions like Luigi did nothing inherently wrong. The other 10% are split into two categories, 8% of it are other leftists who disagree on multiple aspects of my particular interpretation of leftism and the other 2% are hard-core conservatives who often still agree with my diagnostics, but not my cure. Now, maybe you could argue that I am in a cloistered environment, but the district I’ve lived in has been a purple swing district for the last 4 election cycles. If anything, other places are more viewpoint cloistered.
However, if you were to consult pollsters, you would find that my ideas are wildly unpopular and supposedly ‘extreme and radical’. Now, they would argue this is revealed preference, but I argue that most people don’t like discussing the actual particulars of their beliefs over the phone to strangers. Not only that, but surveys are pretty crap at revealing what people actually believe in.
Yeah tbh I think this says more about polling demographics than it does about Americans opinions on things.
“53% of people who live in the suburbs and answer unknown calls to their landline in the middle of a weekday say gas the migrants” cool did you try asking anyone else?
