    TBF there’s probably only like 10 of them that understand the word “humiliation”, so the low focus group makes sense

    an overall sense that the system, even under the man they voted for, just isn’t working.

    I have a worrying feeling that for these people, fixing the system doesn’t mean anything like “kick all the billionaires out of politics, change the electoral system & senate to give people genuinely equal representation, and start arresting politicians who take bribes and make millions on insider trades”.

      A “restoration era” USA where all the damage is being fixed and institutions repaired like you describe would practically take some kind of temporary military dictatorship. Because it’s not just the idiots in maga, you have all kinds of idiots who think this principle or this or that is important and everything has been gamed for decades by the plutocrats to only serve them. So everything is poisoned, everything needs to be changed, so you can’t rely on any sensible majority or institution to work with you. That includes news media and journalists and the “freedom” of the press to serve as a voice for the plutocracy.

        Assuming they are trained on datasets that do not control for this classification, and are derived from the product of more than ten individuals I think it’s safe to expect, unironically, that yes the results would be more predictive. (ETA: but not grounded, and pointless as a survey.)

      Always been curious how effective focus groups are and what sample sizes would be considered representive of the general population.

    Only one of the focus group members, a 24-year-old engineer from New York named Alvin, gave Trump a 5 out of 5, praising him for “trying to bring back manufacturing jobs” even though manufacturing growth has slowed.

    So basically, only the delusional think he’s doing a good job. I’d say this is like, “just my opinion, man” but no: That’s literally what the focus group discovered! It’s a fact.

    But they still think they’re better off than voting for someone else. The stupidity is endless
