They feel the same about the homeless. Literally every west coast subreddit, ostensibly full of “liberals” will upvote comments like “It would be much cheaper to just house them all in tents in the desert.”

Like they want to do fucking Manzanar for homeless people.

The maddening part is that it’s still cheaper to put them into houses but that would require you to admit they’re human.

Yeah, it’s disturbing to see the uptick in anti-homeless rhetoric. You hear them being called “zombies” and “not people”.

And the Democrats, while not in favor of the camps, will gladly support them once the law has been passed

Because that’s how government works!

I think they may just feel like “militarized” is problematic. They already don’t have a problem with kids in cages, especially after the Biden admin changed the name and painted pretty murals on the facilities.

Historically, 79% of Republicans = 100% of Republican senators, and 22% of Democrats = ~80% of Democratic senators, so it sounds like this is on track to get Patriot Act numbers in Congress.

I always love when dems suddenly lose the concept of statistics or the concept of polling.

“Only 27% of the country voted for republicans last election so that means that 73% of the country supports democrats.”

Instead they think they have to adjust everything to try and get that 27%

Somewhere on reddit, some dork is arguing that 5,352 people is not a good enough sample size.

permalink

it literally isn’t a good sample size, especially for their selection process in the breakdown of a place as diverse and varied in peoples and living conditions and environments like the US and its 350 million people. It’s a religious-focused NGO for “christian nationalism in politics”, has vanishingly few young people, does terrible breakdowns in the full report and tells us nothing about class or income, self-selects for those who are on consistent addresses in USPS lines with internet access who would be arsed to do these surveys (as well as has hundreds of self-selected opt-ins), the report is trash by a non-profit for “finding the intersection of religion and politics for clergy and the public”

No, it’s actually an excellent sample size. This study is absolutely worrying because it was conducted well.

https://www.checkmarket.com/sample-size-calculator/

This is a sample size calculator,

Punching in 350M for population size, 2% margin of error, and 95% Confidence interval we get a necessary sample size of at least 2401, this study had a sample size of 5352

As for their margin of error, using the above population and confidence interval values but adding in 5352 for the actual sample size we get a calculated margin of error of 1.34%

This study is valid and its findings should worry everyone.

The population of rome eventually emptied out to 1% of it’s peak population during the roman empire’s long decline. People either died or left. If and when it’s possible, leaving is better.
