What the polls really tell you about USA

The fact that it’s all pretty much not 70-30 across the board against the Dems and Biden is damning.
From a policy, economic and behavioral standpoint, what the Dems currently represent should be so far outside of normal civil bounds as to be ostracized.
And yet our citizenry still appears 45-50% ok with this. Damn.

The flaw of informed people like this board attracts is that we vastly underestimate the uninformed in this country.
The "Coyote" comment from the debate is a perfect example. You had thousands of comments on social media, many from blue checks like Jemele Hill, elected officials like the Georgia congresswoman, who literally thought he meant actual coyotes and thought they had him.
Even with confronted with the truth, many of them doubled down. These people have millions of combined followers that they influence. Whereas you and I look at that and say anyone who questioned that statement has no right to speak on the border, they still consider themselves experts.

This shows how utterly stupid the American populace is. I mean, if you don't understand the term look it up. How fricking stupid do you have to be to think Trump was talking about an actual damn coyote? An uneducated voter base is the problem(see Thomas Jefferson).

I have always said that 25 percent of the population run and make this Country go.....the rest are living on that 25 percent. Hell it may be lower.

They’re so brainwashed with hatred for Trump, they don’t even realize or care to understand how the dem policies would affect the country.

Yep. Can’t be overstated enough. Huge amount of people hear a few sound bites and move on to wanting the next iPhone or posting on Instagram. There is nothing nefarious about these people they simply do not know much about anything really going on outside of the next viral thing they look at or show they’re going to watch on Netflix.

They don't really understand how any policy by any politician affects the country. They think that every policy knocks over exactly one domino and that domino is always the one that needs to be knocked over. They never think as far as to look at all the other dominoes behind the first one.

It's in The Bell Curve. We tend to associate with people in our own IQ quintile. Thus, when your IQ is 115 and you have to deal with someone who is at 100, you think he's a moron. Actually, he's average.

Leftists are so obsessed with power that they'd happily seize control over an issue (like gun rights or immigration) that they don't even understand at a fundamental level.

They have a propaganda arm on >95% of TV news each and every day telling people how good they are, how great their policies are, and how awful their opponents are.
That’s the purpose of propaganda.

This is true. It is also the reason the Republicans are such cowards. They live in fear of the MSM.
The internet has diminished their power and given opportunities to people to get their news and info from other sources than just the MSM.
Trump capitalized on that. Or maybe, He is just the right man,at the right place, and at the right time.
