Fox News host Jesse Watters shared statistics Tuesday challenging the acuity of America's perception of reality, saying that America is being brainwashed by the Left.
JESSE WATTERS:
Have you ever miscalculated and paid the price for it? I certainly have. Maybe you drove past the gas station thinking your tank could make it just a few more miles … or you went on a family vacation and miscounted how many kids you have. … miscalculating leads to mistakes, and what happens when you make a mistake? You overcorrect. When a ref blows a pass interference call, he usually gives that team the next call to even it out. It's not fair, but he's overcorrecting, and that does change the nature of the game. It's no different than what's happening in America right now. What we see on TV, in the movies, online are making us believe things about our country that aren't true, and we're making major decisions based off perception, not reality.
A new poll by YouGov asked people what percentage of the United States is black. Their answer? Forty-one percent. We think almost half the U.S. population is African-American, and that makes sense if you consume a lot of media. But it turns out black Americans are a smaller slice of the pie than they thought. The real number: 12 percent. Only 12 percent of Americans are African-American. How about Hispanic Americans? The poll shows that we all think that 39 percent of Americans are Hispanic. Way off again, only 17 percent of the population is Hispanic. And it's not just race that we have no idea about.
How many transgender people do you think live in the United States? The people who took this poll estimated 21 percent of our nation's population is transgender.

Proof you don’t need numbers justa squeeky wheel!
I saw this last night on YouTube. It should be spread far and wide. For instance the tranny thing is only 1% of the population.
Yup. 13% of the public is black but the public thinks it’s triple that (squeaky wheel).
Read this is the percentage of Gen Zers. The other generations are way, way less.
Propaganda in America today makes Pravda proud.
“13% of the public is black but...”
...that 13% is responsible for 60% of all violent crime on the USA.
The right usually just ramble about “cultural Marxism” or some such; the general populace is puzzled and just shrugs.
90% percent of the problem is conservatives forgetting to speak plainly - to say something is “nuts” or “just plain wrong”, for example. They usually get sucked into arguments that use the fringe kookery’s terms, thus accepting the left’s values as valid.
I suppose you could spend years trying to establish in the populace concepts re:Lenin, Trotsky, Marx’s dialectical historicism, framing them from a capitalist viewpoint and hope they all catch on to the current in-slang. Or you could just speak to them where they already are in regular words, terms and concepts most everyone already understand - & agree on.
Yup.
My daughter in law and her best friend never told other kids they were straight. Other kids were bi, trans, gay, etc. But at least between the two of them they were 50% chocolate and 50% vanilla.
Most useful phrase to speak to crazy leftist ideas?
“No, I’m not doing that”.
Maybe people don’t know what ‘percent’ means?
Maybe people don’t know what ‘percent’ means?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A distinct possibility.
For years the accepted percentage of homosexual Americans was 2%. slightly more males, slightly less females. This is the first time I’ve seen anything different.

How about gay people? We spend a lot of time talking about sexual orientation. With all that attention, surely that number must be high. All Americans estimated that 30 percent of their fellow citizens are gay. Wrong again, the real number is 3 percent.
Reality is a shocker to delusional left wing idiots...
