The US is cooked. Decades of press capture by right-wing billionaires, educational capture by religious zealots and defunding, etc.. none of this is accidental. Uninformed, uneducated, religious fundamentalists are easy to manipulate.
You could present these results as coming from a survey of any of the "shithole countries" (Haiti, El Slavador, Africa broadly) the US pedo in charge has turned his nose up against, and nobody would think the results are odd. But look at these comments - disbelief.
