        A minority that has janky map lines and other voting shenanigans like the electoral college to make them potent beyond their numbers, unfortunately

        Yeah, most of the crowd at a Trump rally is going to be a caricature of all the negative stereotypes about Republicans and/or Americans. And if we know them personally, we can tell they aren’t right in the head.

      The people showing up to trump and turning point bullshit are not representative of the majority. But constant coverage of those morons since trump definitely makes it seem that way

        We also have roughly half the population of the entirety of Europe in one country. With that many people, you’re going to have more dumb dumbs than wherever OP is from.

          EU’s 449M + Ukraine’s 38M + Belarusian’s 9M + 115M in european part of Russia = 661M. There are also two european cities in Kazahstan and entire UK, but we will ignore them for now.

          So yeah, roughly half.

          With that many people, you’re going to have more dumb dumbs than wherever OP is from.

          We are talking about concentration, not about absolute numbers.
