    I agree with you in principle, but the semantics surrounding left/right/communism/capitalism have been so profoundly and intentionally corrupted that they communication becomes impossible.

    Basically you need to build a coherent ideology before you can tear down preconceptions.

    Yeah the liberals I know refuse to acknowledge there are fundamental problems that we should do something about.

    The trump people see the problem but think the solution is killing minorities.

    Not sure which crowd is more amenable.

    The methodology is completely pulled out of his ass.

    There's a lot wrong with it but the main thing is using linear regression for "do you know someone who has died of X?" This is cannot be a linear relationship. As the number of casualties goes up, the % of people who know a casualty logarithmically approaches 100%.

    This means the % of people who know a casualty will rise dramatically at first, and taper off. It also means it's not a good indicator for actual deaths.

    They took advantage of American media illiteracy and gulliability, conditions our own politicians and economic elites created. The only difference between 2016 and every other election year was it was external meddling instead of internal.
