    More like 22%, minor correction. Only about 22% of eligible voters voted for Trump. That’s actually less than 20% of the people who live in the USA when you count all the people who can’t vote for one reason or another.

      There are 10 maga comments for every 1 normal person on Facebook. Which means they have to be bots and sock puppets.

      I try to remind people of this.

      The people who say the worst shit like “renee deserve to get shot cause she didn’t listen”. I really don’t think there are very many people like that.

      They exist. But they are small in numbers. Yet you constantly see huge numbers of comments along those lines any time someone is harmed or killed by ice.

        No, that can just mean everyone else left Facebook. Any group of self selecting people can be non representative of the average.
