64. Yes, they're idiots... and selfish ones at that.

While they gave their names, genders, and ages (for example) they gave no notice about their wealth status... except for the last one mentioned in his own paragraph. I doubt a 27 year old grocery store employee is in the 1%. Maybe none of these three are... but how many people did they interview for this poll that WERE in the upper echelons? We never get that information, so it's always perspectively skewed. We assume the people polled are just like us. Well... in a hell of a lot of ways... they couldn't be more different from us. I'd like to sometime see a breakdown of support for trump, broken into income brackets. That would say a lot more about our country's status as far as maga citizenry is concerned, IMO. I mean, you really don't expect many millionaires, etc., to vote against trump. They'd be too afraid trump would come after their millions! Maga idiots don't have anything trump wants.
