Because it’s that blaringly fucking obvious
Hiding info about what? This is a meaningless stat bc people who answered in the affirmative could think they’re hiding stuff about whoever. A more meaningful question would be if they believe there’s a cover up about the melted orange one
Hmmm, I wonder what will happen when a notorious loudmouth in a position of power start holding up the release of information from a vile criminal to his conspiracy-theory primed base. Hmmmmm
But do they believe that’s a bad thing?
And hey, they finally realize the pigs might be lying, too? Bless their souls.
Of that 62%, how many of them care in the least?
Why is 38% so stupid?
Bear in mind, in these polls “Republicans” only comprise less than a third of the overall population. In the US it’s about equal proportions of “Republican,” “Democrat,” and “Unaffiliated” and only about 2/3 of the US population actually votes. Therefore, when you see "38% of Republicans believe XYZ, you may think that’s 19% of the total US population, but in reality it’s only about 12%. Still high, but consider that about 20% of the adult population can’t accurately answer the question "does the earth rotate around the sun, or does the sun rotate around the earth "
They’re not. Not really.
They know the government is hiding information and they support it, but the party line on the issue is that this is the most transparent government in history and so they give the “correct” answer as party loyalists. It’s like Nazis saying they don’t believe the Holocaust happened. They totally do! They just know that the “correct” answer, the party line, is to deny the Holocaust.
They’re not stupid. They’re evil.
Well, of that 38%, probably 8% are undecided. That leaves 30%. Of that 30, as someone else mentioned, some of those are sheeple from religious stuff. The rest? They’re literally holding up Swastikas and chant “Jews will not replace us”. Maybe not all of them are supporters of the Nazi party. Some are probably just klansmen.
You’re basically looking at the evil underbelly of America. You know, Republicans.
Decades of underinvestment in education.
Why are they all so fucking stupid?
Religion teaches you not to question things that don’t make logical sense, he preys on those religious folks.

BREAKING NEWS!:
Turns out that ONLY 38% of GOP are idiots.

BREAKING NEWS!:
62% of republicans believe Trump is hiding Epstein ties, but still actively support him.Oh no no no, we really can’t say that yet. We need another statistic to say something like that: Is the government responsible for hiding info on Epstein run by democrats or republicans?
I would wager that a considerable amount of those 62% would answer that it’s Biden or Obama who’s behind the cover up.
At least 38% – The other 62% still vote the way the way they do in spite of their suspicions.
And yet 50% of republicans would support a third term
“but at least they aren’t Democrats”
A refrain I’ve heard so often from them after bemoaning some inhumanly bad thing they think a Republican has done.
Why are people so hyper focused on Epstein? MAGA supports this and everyone else already knows what happened as per the victims. Is why isn’t the focus on the constitution?
We really should be past trying to expose the truth about Epstein and onto imposing consequences for these crimes
Theres that fucking 37-38% again who are beyond redemption.
And it’s so ironic that those are the same people who were the most vocal about focusing on Epstein.
These people are also the ones who supported shooting up a pizza place because of “Pizza Gate” but they’re now silent
The sooner more people realize that percentage is a lost cause the sooner we can start moving forward. That percentage will follow everyone else eventually. That’s what they do. They are not leaders.
Yeah? How do you suppose we go about taking away their right to vote? Last time I checked, that’s not going to happen. Nor should it. Yet, here we are.
They’re a symptom of the education nightmare, of disingenuous “news” media, poverty, social media echo chambers, and a cadre of other factors. Think any of those things are going away soon either?
The sooner we all realize that this country needs a reset, the sooner we can move forward.
Edit: people are taking my first paragraph too literally. The point is that they cannot be ignored. Also, I literally say it should not happen.
I don’t get why you are downvoted?
When Lemmy dog piles, it’s contagious. I don’t know why it happens sometimes.
I kinda wish votes were displayed at the bottom of a comment instead of the top so people actually have to read the comment before voting instead of just bandwagoning.
Interesting point. It also depends on the platform. I use the Alexandrite.app interface and they’re at the bottom. I do wonder what effect placement has.
You don’t need to take away their right to vote, just give a fair and proportionate voting power, which is a hell of a lot less than the voting power they have now.
It has nothing to do with how 30% vote. We already know how they vote. It’s about everyone else getting on the same page. It’s about priorities.
Everyone else is very much not on the and page.
It’s also about land having votes instead of people.
You don’t have to rake it away, just make it irrelevant. They only have so much power now because First Past the Post voting systems don’t need anywhere near a majority, just a little more than everyone else. So with as few as 3 candidates you could win with only 34% of the vote.
Switching to an actually representative election style like ranked choice voting means the outliers are represented more accurately instead of getting an oversized platform their size doesn’t warrant.
You don’t have to take it away, just make it irrelevant.
Correct.
Word. No other idiocy perpetrated by this admin has been rolled out more over media outlets of all persuasion. Called out by critical voices from their own ranks. Nothing has been more obvious in the past 10 years. You need to not only close your eyes and ears but also loudly sing “lalalalala” to not recognize that. You need to want to not listen to be part of these 37-38%, so yeah, beyond redemption.
Taco’s approval rating is now 31%, so that is hopeful.
So about the same amount of people who voted for him?

The latest poll shows that you do not need a poll to show you that trump is a lying, racist, thief, pedophile who will do anything to not get caught. Even start a war with Venezuela.
Which means 38% of Republicans are stupid.
#1 way to produce conservative voters is to cut public education.
These asshole Republicans currently RUN all three branches of government. Who’s doing the hiding??
