    Here is some fun math and reframing for you:

    The popular vote in 2020 fell like this:

    • Dems: 51.3%
    • Reps: 46.8%

    Knowing these proportions we can work out the likely total proportion of potential voters who support these ideas.

    (DemsResponse% * DemsPopVote%) + (RepsResponse% * RepsPopVote%)

    • 55% of Americans believe that the government should have the authority to restrict the number and types of firearms available to the public, irrespective of the interpretations of the Constitution.
    • 56% of Americans believe that government policy should require corporations to have diversity at all levels of leadership.
    • 47% of Americans believe that all wealth above a certain limit should be redistributed to address income inequality.
    • 41% of Americans believe that the government should regulate or restrict the expression of views considered discriminatory or offensive.
    • 28% of Americans believe that it is necessary to limit certain rights, like freedom of speech, to protect the feelings and safety of marginalized groups.
