You could very well be right, I’ve come to realize that my “guesses” are really just perceptions, since I live a pretty insular life and don’t really have much of an idea about the general public in many regards.
I bet I lead a more insular life than you! :-D
But what the general population thinks and believes is very interesting to me so I take note when I see snippets about it. More people are “woke” (I loathe that expression btw and vow to never use it again) than the MSM wants everyone (who listens to them anyway) to think.
