Exactly what I was thinking. They should not get a pass for enabling, participating in, and benefitting from the MAGA movement like this. This is a bad narrative in data visualization.
The big qualifier is “once they hear what’s in it”. That assumes some of this “reading” and “understanding basic numeracy” that they don’t spend a lot of time on.
It’s because Democrats and Independents already know what’s in the bill. Republicans only know the lies that Fox “news” tells them. Getting exposed to the truth can make quite a difference.
It would be nice if all seek the facts and truth before making a decision. Fact checking is do simple, yet, MAGAmaniacs just refuse to educate themselves. What’s up with that?
So, if you're a democratic veteran, democratic combat veteran, disabled democratic veteran, the draft-doding coward says, 'fuck you', you're not patriotic enough to receive care.
It’s not informative to look at the absolute changes since groups start at different numbers. One should calculate the RELATIVE % change to assess what % changed their mind after learning specifics. With one exception the relative changes are nearly equal (30%-33%). 1/3 of people changed their minds
Doesn’t matter. The billionaires want the bill. Greed and cowardice rules all for Republicans. As for constituents - they’re just idiot sheep to be lied to for Republicans.
