p.s. here's a guy actually blaming AOC (ran across that looking for a link that's not Newsmmax-haven't found it)

The more she yaps, the more they lose. Morning Consult poll shows people identifying as liberal or very liberal over the past five years has dropped 7 points, to 27%. Used to be 34/38 liberal/conservative. That 4 point margin is now 12 points, 27/39.

So here's an interesting thing people are 'lying' to the pollster about noted today

POLL

A new Morning Consult study finds Americans are less liberal than we were 5 years ago and the shift was largely driven by minorities.

% Identifying as Liberal 2017 2022
Hispanic: 50% 34% (-16)
Black: 49% 34% (-15)
Other: 40% 29% (-11)
White: 31% 25% (-6) pic.twitter.com/xDGbhSJbjv

Personally I think Woke elite are giving the word "liberal" an increasingly bad name. It's like his sarcasm in replies:

Latinx has been a big hit for liberals!

I very much doubt that one can learn much of anything useful about what "everybody thinks" from polling data. While it is almost certainly true that "The best predictor of private behavior is private opinion", it is also true that publicly, "Everybody Lies".

Surprising what propaganda

Surprising what propaganda can do. Trump = pro-business success, Hillary = unlikeable, hid her emails, war hawk. Same on racial and ethnic divisions is equally hocking and hilarious.

If you think of all the gravity-defying Trump defense, it all makes sense as the natural extension of take no prisoners fanaticism.

I'm curious about Liz Cheney's possible evolution/ways to explain it all.

Clinton, Trump Supporters Have Starkly Different Views of a Changing Nation

Voters remain skeptical that either would make a good president

6 years ago, stark divisions in views of a changing nation:
59% of Hillary Clinton's voters said that life had gotten better "for people like them" compared with 50 years earlier.
81% of Donald Trump's voters said life had gotten worse.https://t.co/t0bNGQwlEL

The intrigue: The study found the biggest disparities among Hispanic respondents and political independents. On 14 out of 25 topics, these groups had double-digit gaps between what they say and believe.
