It’s not half, it’s a tiny percent who recommend those things.

Saying half the country wants those things because they vote D is the same as saying half the country wants to ban Muslims because they vote R.

You can’t treat populations as individuals. You can’t take the many desires of a group of people and expect them to make sense as if they were one mind.

This mindset is the reason political discussion has broken down in this country. Rather than treat each other as individuals with diverse opinions, we treat each other as mini clones of the nonsensical amalgam of the worst aspects of half the country.
