This stood out to me:
The poll comes also as Republicans hold a slight partisan edge over Democrats, which shows that 45% of Americans are Republican or lean-Republican, while 42% are Democrat or lean-Democratic, per Gallup.
That’s a change from previous years, including in 2022, when an equal number of Americans said they consider themself a Republican or a Democrat.
Democrats held a partisan edge over Republicans in 2020, 2018 and 2016, per the average of Gallup party affiliation polls from those years.
Yep, and I met a lot of dickheads in my country too, and I have always figured that they were too dumb to organize. But yeah, as it turns out idiots are surprisingly easy to manipulate, and they’re not all lazy either. We all know people with simplistic minds who believe that all problems have easy solutions. Like yeah, let’s bomb all the people we don’t like, this will solve all our problems. Well, turns out they can vote and get manipulated all the way to the booths. Education is important, it will be difficult for the USA to mitigate the chaos of such an ignorant population.
I wish I could downvote the “ignorant population” but that’s exactly what has been encouraged in a large portion of our states. It’s also getting worse.
