America is still a center-right nation even as the culture over time has become more liberal.
We’re not the minority here, according to Gallup.
Try telling that to Virginia!
Goodness, 24% is way too high!
In some places we’re outnumbered. That’s not the entire country.
And we’re 37%.
Historians put the Loyalist percentage around the time of the Revolution at about 15-20% while Patriots ran between 40 to 45%, with the rest being ballast.
Little has changed.
How many Germans were Nazis in 1933?
The fact is the Left has taken over most of our institutions.
Yup. That’s why why the patriots had guns and the Tories ran to Canada and the UK...
Trump is running several points ahead of the conservative population demographic at 45% to 52%, depending on what poll you look at.
He does have crossover appeal but then again, he isn’t an ideological conservative.
I listened to NPR back in the 70’s before they went strawberry fields left. Even then they regularly described the country as 20% liberal, the rest as conservatives & moderates.
Rush used this same figure thirty years ago & later.
So, 24% represents an increase, due no doubt to all that urbanized diversity & multiculturalism.
Just ask the gun owners in Virginia.
The Left dominates the culture but that’s not how most of us think.
Also, as liberals go further left, “moderate” means something different every year.
Usually, 65%-70% of Hispanics claim they are Conservatives.
Then, 65%-70% of Hispanics vote Democrat in the next election.
Then, the Wall Street Journal ludicrously claims that Hispanics vote Democrat because white Conservatives are mean to Hispanic Conservatives.
Bottom Line - Conservatives have always been a minority in the USA.
Politically, we will always punch above our weight class because we have the highest voter turn out, and because our political philosophy is based on factual reality.
We stood back and let them get away with it.
If’s unthinkable that we allowed our universities to get this bad. For that matter, or K-12th grade is way out of whack too, and they each need to be brought into somewhat of a political parity.
This anti-American nonsense is WRONG!
This defiling of our innocent children is WRONG!
The problem with polling like this is that tons of the population don’t think of themselves as ‘liberal’, or the far end of the spectrum leftist, when in fact they are. It’s like nobody is going to want to think of themselves as an extremist, or ‘crazy’.
People have no idea what the word means. Peopke called liberal todsy are not even close.
I wonder if it’s a she. ;-)
The Democrat Party are not liberals they are Stalinists.
and Bahamas...
