Two Poll Numbers That Explain So Much — If True

Well, we have a couple of polls, I guess, research studies that may explain a lot. One of them I had not heard of, and the results in this one are gonna stun you. Maybe they won’t.

...SNIP...

And it is essentially this. The average American believes that 9% of the U.S. population have already died from COVID-19. Nine percent of the U.S. population is 30 million people. So the average American thinks that 9% of the population’s already died, 30 million people are dead. Now, why would they think such a thing? Sadly, it is a testament to the Drive-By Media.

Just be grateful it is July—this can be fixed as easily as it was broken.

[Riflema]

LOL. Yes! But they'll only kill other people.

“No way will they re-elect a President who they think has presided over the deaths of 30 million fellow citizens.”

I’d think they were already anti-Trump.

Liberals have very little understanding of numbers, ratios, percentages etc...

[Riflema]

He is right on the money, as he has been since I started listening back in 92. Virus=Death.

Oh, and btw, I sadly also have to tolerate living in that state (Natick in my case).

That is true, but also unfortunately true of many conservatives, as seen from comments on this site from time to time.

[Jayster]

It’s the same uninformed idiots that think the atmosphere has 20%+ CO2

[oil_dude]

You idiot, I hear every day on liberal stations the number of deaths is 150,000, not 30 Million. And I do believe most people can figure out that 150,000 out of 330 MILLION is NOT 9%!!!

[cgbg]

When the Trump campaign is finished super-gluing the riots to Biden and showing that electing senile Biden is risking nuclear war, it won’t matter what folks believe or don’t believe about the coronavirus.

[ifinnegan]

Yes. A lot of people, I’ve noticed.

30 million people dead from Covid-19 would mean not enough space in cemeteries, and all of them would have been cremated, and crematories would have to be in operation 24 hours per day, with a lot more having to be opened/created.

And, democrats would be yelling for joy about how Trump is a sure goner come election. Heck, they’re doing that anyhow, and believe that they have this election in the bag, which is why they keep asking Trump to concede ahead of time, by asking that he accept the results of the election.

Fair warning, and it’s one that Trump keeps saying: massive voter fraud is coming, and it’s mostly by mail-in ballots. Mail-in votes is how the democrats have planned to win the election and they’ve figured out a way to make it happen. We live in very dangerous times. The phony polls that keep having Biden way ahead, is the excuse they’ll use to call their ‘wins’ accurate. Big leads in pre-election polls, will be used as proof that the election results are ‘correct’.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Your point is not wrong. In hindsight Trump’s decision to delegate so much of this to Pence was a huge mistake.

[Buckeye McFrog]

30 million people dead from Covid-19 would mean not enough space in cemeteries, and all of them would have been cremated, and crematories would have to be in operation 24 hours per day, with a lot more having to be opened/created.

Thanks to the last couple of decades of public school math education most people won't begin to process that. 150 thousand? 30 million? Those figures are pretty close, aren't they?

[cnsmom]

I doubt 9% of Americans even know how to calculate or what a percentage means.

[dfwgator]

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American People.

[ClearCase_guy]

Years ago I was in a college math class. It was sort of remedial (I wasn’t a good math student and didn’t much care — I just needed a math credit). The professor was trying to demonstrate some very simple operation and said to a girl in the front row: “Give me a number. Any number.”

“I don’t know.”
“No. It’s not like that. I just need a number. No wrong answers. Any number is fine.”
“I don’t understand.”
“I just want you to name a number. Could be big. Could be small. Could be a fraction. I don’t care. Could be how many people are in your family. Anything.”
“I … I don’t … I can’t … I don’t know what you want.”
“You’ve got pretty bad math anxiety, huh?”
“Yes.”

She never came back.

[Maris Crane]

Well, you would be scared to death to say you did NOT support the cause.

Even I might say...”OH, yeah, sure, I support the “cause.”

A poll to Freep:

[ClearCase_guy]

Different topic, but “I support the cause” makes me think of this —

When AG Barr was in front of Congress, some Democrat claimed that Donald Trump was planning to steal the election in November and the jerk asked Barr if he was going to help the President.
Bar said: “I would uphold the law.”

The jerk, reading from his prepared remarks: “I am deeply disappointed in the Attorney General’s answer. Obviously he does not care about honest elections. This is very distressing” (paraphrasing).

Sometimes even the bland, safe statements are “offensive”.

[TheConservativeTejano]

No way will they re-elect a President who they think has presided over the deaths of 30 million fellow citizens.

Partner, the 1918 Pandemic killed 30 million folks off the face of the earth.

We lost another 10 million folks that were wiped off the face of the earth in 1918 because WWI ended at the end of the 1918.

Partner, a total of 40 million folks were wiped off the face of earth in 1918.

This virus is estimated that maybe 150,000 thousand folks will die from this virus when it ends.

Not 2 decades. More like 6 decades. Democrats knew early in the last century that, if they were going to have any chance at remaining relevant, they would have to cheat, and to cheat, they would need to have an ignorant and uneducated electorate. Thus, they virtually took over the education system, and they've been very successful with that. They've been trying to take over all other areas where the liberal/socialist influence would be the main agenda, which is why the FBI and DOJ and intelligence agencies, became corrupt and serving the democrat agenda.

Democrats also knew that 'all politics is local', which is why they made sure to take over cities and states, and bought the unions and union members with very cushy pay rates and top-of-the-line benefits, including pensions that can't be paid for by tax collections.
