Y’all Americans aren’t brainwashed. You aren’t insane. The vast majority of you don’t agree with the rioters--or the president. It’s just that you have an extremely vocal 15% minority that care more about their own power than about anyone else’s actual lives, and somehow your president is unfortunately a member of that 15%

make it known that the majority of people dont agree with trump and co. its not helpful to make it seem like the people who disagree are a minority. its easier to stand up with others than it is to do so alone. this is one if the ways thats unions, strikes, protests, etc are prevented. its intentional. they want you to think you're alone.

yes, that small percentage may be brainwashed, but it does more harm than good to say that everyone is.

#politics #coronavirus #trump #(the only number on there i feel is maybe wrong is the #''93% trying to maintain 6 foot distances'' one #only because we've been hearing a lot of anecdotes from the open states #- from people who are opposed to the opening and who WANT social distance maintained -#that there are ''a lot'' of people in shops and stuff NOT doing that #however! that's anecdotal and really i don't know how the numbers truly shake out #so that's another example of ''are you hearing about it more and thus think it represents more people than it does?'')#(also that 15% lines up with the GOP's most diehard base #always remember that Trump was NOT elected by 46% of the entire American voting population #he was elected by a percentage of the people who actually voted #which is shamefully low #- some of which is by choice and some of which is due to voter suppression and disenfranchisement -#not everyone who voted for him is part of that 15% - which is a separate issue #but that 15% or so represents the most radically rightwing part of the U.S. population #and they ARE loud and they ARE getting disproportionate coverage in the news media #and that is why it makes it seem as if they represent more of the American voice than they do #WHICH IS BY DESIGN #please don't forget the giant conservative conglomerates like Sinclair that control a whole lot of media right now)
