You break out a poll to cast a group as fringe. Other people bring up other polls (more recent ones) to counter that argument, and then you shift to a different line of evidence citing "historical trends." Please, take this advice to heart, you are clearly trying to justify a conclusion with whatever evidence you can grab at hand. Take a step back and ask yourself if tribal loyalty is clouding your judgement.
We are all allowed (at least in the United States) to change our minds on things, but we can get in our own way. Lots of people seem to be changing their minds these days based on recognizing that their trust in some institution, process, or brand was misplaced. That might be you in a little while, and if it is, don't hate who you once were or once believed. Here's wishing you a good journey on your search for truth.

- NationalPark 4y agoThe original point I was making, "republicans are a minority", is true, and the data shows that. This isn't a tribalism thing, it's a question of data analysis. Also, I take umbrage at your patronizing tone. Personally attacking me does not change the data.
- gsibble 4y agoHere, swing this one, a minority of Americans support the President, Democrat policies, and plan to vote for a Democrat in 2022. There's your minority.
- gsibble 4y agoNo, it doesn't show that. You are a partisan trying to make a partisan point.
- andrewclunn 4y agoCompletely changing your post, after it's been replied to, without an indication it was edited, is dishonest. You are not arguing in good faith.
- gsibble 4y agoAgreed. Also, calling conservatives a minority is misleading since I'd hardly call like 47% a minority. It's technically true, but it's awfully close to even.
