    I’ve found that in every US political poll, the absolute worst of the worst topic or candidate will almost always have 25-30% support. I really think a quarter of people are complete assholes who lack empathy and care for no one but themselves.

      Realistically, a portion of that is going to be people trolling/giving a “joke” answer, a portion is going to be people who are so unaware of literally anything going on that they just answer “sure, it’s fine”, or are basically illiterate and effectively just answer randomly. The number of people who are seriously answering are going to be a smaller subset of that number, greater than 0% but lower than the true number.
