    The percentage of Americans– actually humans in general– who’re are just utterly irredeemably idiotic is above 17% in my estimation. So coming in less than that is a win in my book.

      i think 20% probably are irredeemably stupid, another 20% could have been lifted up by better education and parenting.

        I agree with you (20>17, as I suggested) but I honestly like that you put an optimistic spin on the rest.

      It’s about 40%, ie the amount of people who still approve of and would vote again for Trump, even after hiding his Epstein stuff, the warmongering, the scams and theft, the cuddling up with Russia etc etc.

      That 17% is just the people who whole-hog wanted to annex Canada. There’s an additional 16% that didn’t care enough to have an opinion on it.

      Is 1 in 3 more along the lines of what you were expecting?
