If I told you that an aircraft flown by Epstein's pilot that was making trips between Venezuela, Merida MX and Chino, CA was operated by a company named "Kyrgyz International Airlines" was ditched and set on fire in Guatemala last Oct, that'd be weird, no? soy502.com/articulo/ejerc…
And no, the above article had nothing to do with me. I have no relationship with @soy_502 🤓
One other bit that is helping - reporting the percentage of Republican support for Trump, civic violence, etc, without mentioning the actual proportion of Americans, overnormalizes the opinions that will drive democracy into the grave.
The proportion of Americans identifying as Republican # has dropped 5-10% since 2005, to an avg ~26% in 2021 (same trend for Dems).
OMG 80% of Republicans believe…
Is really
20% of adult Americans.
Not reporting THAT alongside every partisan percentage is malpractice.
Reporting trends absent that context hyperinflates the power of that fraction of society, both normalizing and enhancing fear and stasis, fomenting distrust and increasing our isolation from our neighbors.
Truth is, 80% of Americans aren’t willing to die for Trump.
