who are the effing 4%? I could see maybe 1% but less than one percent of that group would gain from it.

If Trump doesn't want to join the next debate it should be Kamala Harris arguing point to point against Project 2025 during the time slot. I would watch that.
Well yeah, they want to eliminate the fucking national weather service. Project 2025 is a plan to stop governing and begin ruling.
The other 39% view it unfavorably but don't have the spine to speak out against their own party when they know the poll results will be publicized.
At minimum 4% of USA citizens are complete monsters with hate in their hearts. It’s actually much higher, but for sure we say that 4% are awful people.
33% of a country are always Authoritarians. Those are the people who vote to end democratic rule and install dictatorships.
This sums up the recent election results in the German states Brandenburg, Thüringen and Sachsen, unfortunately.
4% is around the lizardman constant.
My current estimate is ~20-40%
7% of the 40% are the foolish following the dark triads.
4%
That's... That's pretty low.
57% is also way too low. That sjould be in the 80s
Agreed, but there are a lot of low-information voters out there who have probably never heard of it because they don't follow political news closely.
Still too high
Falls in line with the lizardman constant https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slate_Star_Codex#Lizardman's_Constant
There's some info stickers the Harris campaign sells if you want to help lower that for the people around you. Or at least increase the number of unfavorable view of it

(Can also make your own stickers like that too)
There's also apparently an audiobook recording on YouTube, for if you wanna be mad while exercising or something.
Those colors make them look like Mr ~~Yuck~~ Yuk stickers! Perfection!
Those are probably just the people who would benefit from it.
That really depends.. if I gave you a drink with a 4pct chance you'd die an agonizing death.. would you drink it?

We should take that 4% and put them on a remote island. We don't need to bother shipping over food, I'm sure their God will provide it for them and they'll all get to live in a blissful paradise.
