Poll: 62% of Americans Say They Have Political Views They’re Afraid to Share

[SackMan518 5,298]

Gee, I wonder why that is considering cancel culture, doxxing, boycotts, and all of the other insanity going on today?

Poll: 62% of Americans Say They Have Political Views They’re Afraid to Share

 

A new Cato national survey finds that self‐censorship is on the rise in the United States. Nearly two-thirds—62%—of Americans say the political climate these days prevents them from saying things they believe because others might find them offensive. The share of Americans who self‐censor has risen several points since 2017 when 58% of Americans agreed with this statement.

These fears cross partisan lines. Majorities of Democrats (52%), independents (59%) and Republicans (77%) all agree they have political opinions they are afraid to share.

We need to stop calling the left liberals? They are progressives, or communists. Even though they aren’t smart enough to realize that. 
 

And don’t get me started on the word elite ...

Elites, or the underbelly. The central bankers, who supported every communist (Bolshevik) leader. Have you ever seen, or read about the atrocities committed by these sick individuals? 
 

I heard that jungle, and Hip are on their payroll.

I heard that supporting a puppet-President that allows Russia to pay bounty money to Muslims that kill American makes you a traitor

It’s fine with anyone drinking the kool-aid. But, the two party system is broken. It isn’t interested in fixing problems, but undoing anything positive the other party does.

The people are waking up, but we still have far to many people drinking the kool-aid.

When I get asked on line do I support so and so I check the box. Then they want my info saying they have to have it. When you go to the polls isn't it private? I never give it to them.

Oh, BTW, by the system, do you mean the system where everybody who supports Trump ignores the fact and allows him to turn his back on Putin paying bounties to Muslims in Afghanistan to kill Americans? It’s pathetic that people like you who pretend not to support him, but really do, and people who openly support him refused to acknowledge this disgusting fact

The two part system isn't going anywhere soon.  Convince me otherwise.  Not happening.  Wish it would.

Nah, they're so dumb that they spill their bile for free. They are what is called demoralized individuals.

You throw this nonsense around like Presidents before Trump didn’t do despicable acts. 
 

And why do I continuously have to explain the system to you?

Why would it? The politicians that would have to make the changes have gotten rich, fat and lazy of the two party system.

That's why they hate Trump so much, he interrupted the do-nothing cocktail parties and fake WWE style public feuds.

Part of the reason I voted for Trump was because he wasn’t a politician. I do have to admit, I am disappointed how much he conformed to the Republicans once he became President. Once upon a time his ideas were mixed. Rand Paul even attacked him in the primary for having non Republican views and it only made me want to vote for him more.

He hasn't conformed to the Republicans. He has whittle away at American Democracy for the last 3 1/2 yrs and brought in a more Totalitarian way of governing and the Republicans have fallen right into step with it. It's the most primary reason why I hate him. And seeing him bring federal Law Enforcement in to our cities to patrol the streets should terrify anyone on either side of the line. He and his inner circle at the DOJ and Homeland Security use fear tactics to get conformity from the people dumb enough to not see what he's doing. It's a zero-sum game and Trump just plays it at will while his sheeple berate anyone that resists him.

It blows my mind that so many people are so blind to this. And then you have Jamsin bitching about "the system" when the very thing he keeps accusing everyone else of is happening right under his nose and he - and so many others - are completely oblivious  and bought-in to it.
