    So the rough percentages of representation are as follows:

    862 R (33%) 817 I (31%) 796 D (30%) 132 UN (5%) 2607 Total

    On immigration Rs were 92% approve and Dems were 85% disapprove. Independents were roughly even split. On the economy, Rs and Ds kept about the same but Independents split to about 60% disapprove. This makes me think the Is are comprised of a lot of people that are apathetic until they are personally affected. Extrapolating on this assumption, we need to deport some of the apathetic idiots to let them understand what the fuck they are allowing by being idiots.

      With such a sharp divide, sometimes I wish we could separate north and south states. They can have their own country with no government “handouts” and we can have ours

      So 1/3 of Americans are in a cult of hate and idiocy whether they know it or not.

      The difficulty is getting 75% of the remaining population on board. 75% of a wide range of ideologies to agree that freedom and investment in America are better than submission, oppression, and chaos.

      So, convincing 75% of people that allowing the government to deport innocent people (innocent until proven guilty and we know many of them are actually innocent) is actually really fucking bad.

      Decades of “individual freedom” being pushed as a top priority probably help to get the US to this spot. Caring about one’s fellow citizens being derided as “socialism” probably helps, too.
