@BrightLineWatch I read a lot of polling data about how polarized and hopelessly divided many Americans are, but this report showing that one-third of people favor breaking up the nation is perhaps the most distressing
In terms of still having faith in "the people," it is reassuring to see that a clear majority of Americans still want their country to stay intact — but that's, like, kinda a minimum bar
This.... seems pretty bad: only around 60% of people who approved of Trump in early February said it was "important" or "essential" for our democracy to not have any political violence. Big Trump-driven polarization on saying equal voice & high-turnout elex are important.
A clear majority of Trump voters in southern states are in favor of breaking off from the United States to form a new country. A new "confederation" of states, you might call it
