this may literally be the one subject on the planet on which everyone is aligned in this way I’m not sure you could get these poll numbers with “the sky is blue” or “two plus two equals four”

These numbers are no good. Trump thinks two plus two should be equal to twenty-two! The pedophile dude is a marked target by all parties. His ending may be a shocker. JD may knife him and assume power. America has become a highly corrupt country. Anything goes because of the shady Supreme Court.
Please don’t rile up the Terrance Howard simps😒
And yet…
Well in all fairness it does rely on context, 2 glasses of water + two glasses of water = one glass of water but a pedophile is always a pedophile no context needed

Or the earth is round 🌍
We can find common ground. This proves it. We have to unite in the name of democracy to fight oppression. Monsters have been voting oppression into law for a very long time causing this mess.
2.3 + 2.3 = 4.6 rounded that's 2 + 2 = 5 big math will never pull one over on me!!!! release the epstein files
Of all the possible unity horses- I didn't expect them to go so hard on this one.
Certainly not with "the Earth is round".
In Orwell’s novel 1984, 2 + 2 sometimes equals 5… if it helps the party.
The world agreed it was bad when the Catholic Priests molested children. We united to end it. We should do the same for billionaires and powerful white men.
There’s no difference anymore between a Republican and a MAGA Republican. Anyone not MAGA changed Registration.
seperating 'maga' from republicans is very cute awwww someone still thinks they can be separated from one another
Dash Sulzberger will find a way, tho...
The idiot great-grandson?
Depleted gene pool for sure. “Meritocracy.”
I'd ask "what does the release of the files mean?" Is it; everything, with redactions only to shield potential victims? selected transcripts from a grand jury investigation in a related case? release of things which the inner circle of Trump's cabinet think they can explain away?
I’m pretty sure that at this point a lot of magats are ready to finally jump ship, they just need something like the Ep file to hang their hats on
again, i was told it would all be over by now
Considering that drug prices are now said to be down 1500% and it doesn't seem to shock republicans, I guess 2+2=4 is controversial now.
Gonna need the names of those who answered no because I have questions
Or the Earth is round.
Republicans and MAGA republicans — like peas and carrots. 😂
Redheads?
Is the Pope Catholic? Who cares!? Release the Epstein files!
That's better results then the earth is round vs flatt
Absolutely priceless and brilliantly stated.
are they aligned on actually wanting to condemn all the people on the list, even if they’re republicans, though 😭
Weird that they asked republicans twice. Were they expecting a different response from the same people?
There is another one, the mass censorship of the internet is unilaterally agreed to be terrible by all sides of the political spectrum. The only people who think the censorship is a good idea is the government, big tech, wealthy evangelicals (& their sockpuppets) and Israel.
Reminds me of this xkcd, which is an interesting snapshot of a very brief moment in time. xkcd.com/2305/
I’m concerned by the 24% of people who don’t like kittens
I'm allergic.
Fair.
Yeah, what’s up with that?
Good lord, we could've had it aaaaaaaaaalll and instead we have *waves at literally everything right now* Also who are the 16% who don't like kittens and the 14% who don't like Betty White because they are Objectively Wrong and I just wanna talk
*26% who don't like kittens OH MY GOD IT'S WORSE THAN I FIRST THOUGHT
This study offers up the comparison (in numbers) that a higher percentage of people want to see the release of the Epstein files than believe the Earth revolves around the sun, so like... yeah, Micah is right carsey.unh.edu/publication/...
This chart is wild
More people think humans change the climate than think people evolved??? There's people who believe in creationism AND climate change??????
On the one hand I'm disgusted with the scientific literacy of folks in this country, and on the other I'm disappointed. Even when it looks good, it's still not that great! But the way "statement is scientifically backed" switches from "oh hell no" to "oh hell yeah" at some arbitrary point is a ride
I will also say that in addition to all the bad feels this chart & study give me, it also gives me a lot of derisive laughter too
It definitely made me smile, thank you for sharing it
Thank goodness it's possible to have common sense, academic respect & a sense of humour all at once or we'd be doomed 💀
On the plus side, more people believe in the scientifically-backed statements for all the options listed than believe the bullshit, even if a worrying percentage do believe the bullshit. That's nice to see
For real and kinda depressing.
there are geocentrists in the big 2025?
10% of people said the Earth is flat. Given that the graph doesn’t distinguish between don’t know and disagree these could be the same people.
after the last 10 years that is literally the most believable part for me
What was redacted between the moon landings were faked and Covid was exaggerated? Coincidence?
angular momentum is not conserved
what if they put that in there specifically to bring out the conspiracy theorists! 🤯
Release the files!
I feel like at least some Republicans probably want "the Epstein Files" and not the actual Epstein files, aka they just want a long list of all the people they've been told to hate with accusations that they've fucked and possibly cannibalized children so they can all be round up and shot.
Who the hell are the 10% of dems who don't think it's important?..
"blue no matter who types" who believe in absolutely nothing except yelling at people to their left?
It’s me! I’m the ten percent of Dems who just want people to keep screaming at Trump about this forever lol.
I DO think there are challenges with releasing documents and protecting the women victims. But do I want anyone (ahem Dershowitz) with even a tangential appearance in the files to be outed and accept whatever infant accrues? Fuck yes.
Oh yeah I sure won't be mad if THAT kind of thing goes down. Really it's win/win.
If a giant pile of legal records and whatnot are just dumped on the public people will get bored IMMEDIATELY. It's more lurid in the Rube Imagination!
If it contains something so terribly incriminating that it makes his life worse, I want it out. Otherwise, this works.
I do want them released. Eventually. Preferably one page at a time for the next half-century until every current Republican officeholder is cold in the prison cemetery.
Okay yeah this might be the best possible compromise! The ol' "Podesta Emails" technique!
I can understand not wanting to kick what is almost certainly a planet-sized wasp nest but that buzzing is getting louder either way
My question is : what is Dumb Donnie afraid of? Not jail, obv. So it must be his reputation that is on the line for him, and quite possibly the reputations of a hell of a lot of other rich scum. I bet that, in secret, they ae saying those files better NOT come out or they'll kill him.
47 is a pedo.
Now do a poll of politicians
I expect the Republican numbers there to go down. Many Republicans are already defending pedophilia in the name of their cult leader.
Cognitive dissonance because so many republicans/maga actually are pedophyle or pedophyle-complacent 🙃🤯
I like to look at this as a fear index A significantly higher amount of Republicans don't want the list released than Dems Dems don't care if the Clintons, Joe Biden, or anyone in their party is on the list as they want them in cuffs, while Republicans deny every oen of their people are in it.
I am a Marxist Socialist and hate democrats, but I will give liberal voters credit where it is due. It seems liberal voters actually care about justice, rather than defending whatever candidate they love most. Unless somehow Obama is on there, idk if Libs will be jumping to defend anyone on it.
Those who do not want it released are in the file, probably guilty of illegal behavior with minors. Is there another logical reason?
it's a good thing they're totally going to do this in good faith and not stage a coverup so shitty you can see it from space
I wish I had your confidence, Daryl
The part that makes zero sense to me is why they haven’t just edited his name out and released a fake “unredacted” copy. It’s not like they have a problem lying on this stuff.
That's because 2 + 2 equals fish
glory, be! youtu.be/L5GJDDf36lw?...
Jesus fuckin’ Christ…
It would be interesting to add Republican elected officials to this chart. How low would their number be?
Assad numbers from Republicans! But for real who are the ten percent of Democrats that don't want them released? Did they ask Bill Clinton 400 times?
10% say "Who's Epstein?"
It’s the 10% who actually believe the “this is a distraction” stuff
I know one or two. They consider it a sideshow and "Twitter" thing.
27% crazification factor, undefeated
I've read enough of this stuff that I know it exists and even the reasons why, to some extent, but I will never, ever, internalize it
I think that there is very little actual information collected by surveys like this. They’re just take generation schemes.
When it gets to 10% you are in “didn’t understand question” factor
“Hey man I’m just answering this as fast as possible to get my candy crush bonus, I didn’t even read it”
Those precious, pure people who don't watch any news, use social media, anything. Absolutely under a rock. Envy them constantly.
No. 1 google search the day of last election - Did Biden drop out?
Under the current administration, do you think it's going to be anything but a lie? There's no way anything implicates Trump unless they did something stupid in a coverup.
Heh I just publicly claimed to be them. Under the "a lurid mystery is worse for Trump than the reality" theory. But it's two-thirds joking on my part.
Oh, that one's easy though. The files get released, and then you start asking for "the rest of them", like those weirdos who willed The Snyder Cut into existence
It’s a phone text survey. I expect they have a decent number of folks who get it and troll the report. Or are old enough they don’t know how to properly answer on their phone and make mistakes.
RFK Jr was a Democrat like 12 months ago so
I assume some % are worried about the victims. The rest are probably just evil or live under a rock.
"Pedophiles are bad" is a pretty universal human thought, not gonna lie. I mean, even in canine circles, the puppies are kinda off limits, ya know? Dogs that don't understand that rule get kicked out. While there's a lot of human romanticism about "lone wolves", the real ones don't make it long.
Love that straight up Nazis get their own special republican category now.
Not even close on “the earth is a sphere that rotates on its axis”
Def not with 2+2.
I thought of one thing bsky.app/profile/real...
I haven't seen the country this united about anything since the Westboro Baptist Church was at the height of its infamy and the entire country said "yeah, fuck those guys"
Unfortunately, both columns are looking for different things. Dems and Independents are like "accountability for all!" The GOP and MAGA are like "why won't they expose the list of Demoncrat pedophiles and baby-eaters?!"
I don't trust the red hats anyway
Then why were we repeatedly told for the last several years that we were conspiracy theorists for listening to victims?
Because Qanon was a limited hangout
82% of MAGA want the Epstein files released, but what percentage think Trump it’s involved? It’s still less than 50%, right?
i feel like all of them realize that the best way for trump to prove hes innocent is to just release the documents he keeps saying hes not a part of. so its like closure for them. they wont like the outcome, but they also dont like secrecy
An important distinction to make before we leap to the “look—they’re human after all, not reptile pod people” conclusion!
Even more agreement than on the subject of background checks for gun buyers
MAGA Republicans & Republicans is like saying: Jim Jones & Jonestown. Like they’re two different things…
The final great uniting force in American politics, wanting to know who made pilgrimages to Pedophile Island
Release the #TrumpEpsteinFiles
"On the planet" = USA (I agree with the spirit of your message, but c'mon)
That's insane. I don't think he's gonna slither out of this one.
Anyone who said no shouldn't be allowed near children.
Terrance having nightmares each night at the thought of "Two plus two equals four"
I’m also curious as to whether Republicans seeing Democrats line up with them makes them feel some kind of way
