Seven Things Likely To Lead Me To Vote Against You Or Your Party

 1.  NPR saying glorious things about you for eight minutes straight.

2.  Your program having some kind of pronoun stuff listed.

3. You being pro-gang.

4.  You are asked a simple 5th-grader question, and it takes you seven minutes to give an answer....with nothing making sense.

5. Misusing public funds for personal use.

6.  Nepotism/Cronyism in your background.

7.  Signs of getting bribes.



Trying To Make Sense

 I looked over a YouGov piece....they had polled Americans on favorable views....an odd topic.  This was done back in Feb of 2025.  

So first up....are you favorable, neutral or negative....about castles?  75-percent said favorable....while 17-percent were negative. Yeah, there were 7-percent negative.  

I pondered over this....thinking...if you asked  most  Americans....have you ever been to an actual castle...98-percent would probably say no.  If you were in the Army or Air Force....the odds are that you've been to one or two. Me?  I've been to  probably twenty over my entire life. I'm not really positive or negative over castles....if asked, I'd probably prefer not living in a castle.

But the poll didn't stop there.....there were a number of odd questions.  Like the Crusades got mentioned...with 41-percent of people negative about them, 27-percent neutral, and 32-percent positive.  If you asked most Americans to explain the Crusades....fewer than 10-percent could give you three lines of text on details.

The plague got a polling....with 74-percent negative, 17-percent neutral, and 9-percent positive.  How those  9-percent could see anything positive about the 'Black Plague'....amazes me.  

So here's the thing....out of the dozen-odd topics....the vast majority of Americans have little in the way of knowledge....to relate a feel....either positive or negative...on such topics.

They might  have watched the History Channel, and have some TV show to base a topic on....but otherwise...know almost nothing over the topic.
