Roughly 6 in 10 Americans say they oppose the GOP domestic policy bill that President Donald Trump recently signed into law, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS. CNN political director David Chalian breaks down the numbers.

1. Good News, but

It saddens me that so many are okay with it. It’s so bad Josh Hawley wants to officially change his vote.

2. 40% of this fucking country would still support a Republican if he personally gunned down their own family.

The Overton window is stupidly far to the right. Though in the case of this bill--as is true of so many other things--I don't think the average American knows nearly enough about it to have an informed opinion anyhow. We are a nation of political illiterates.

3. So totally agree with this:

in the case of this bill--as is true of so many other things--I don't think the average American knows nearly enough about it to have an informed opinion anyhow. We are a nation of political illiterates.

By the time the political illiterates and politically indifferent chronically suffer by learning the hard way, it's still likely that they're in the non-voter population that's been too f'n lazy to engage for the sake of their families' futures, and too late for adequate, constructive change for the rest of us.

It could also be that there is a bigger poverty class than we know.
Poverty breeds fear, ignorance, desperation and despair in people who can't trust government or institutions to remediate their lives, so it could be a downward spiral (caused by a fascist corporate economy) of collectively "learned helplessness."
