I did not link the poll to shame and mock, certainly no one here.
(Well, maybe just one.) I linked the poll because I think an informed electorate is essential to maintaining our republic as an effective democracy. When parts of the electorate are as misinformed as this poll would indicate, that concerns me a great deal. If that kind of misinformation becomes widely believed, we're in deep trouble. Donald Trump is a purveyor of misinformation. He will be a disaster for this country. So my post was about a concern over the widespread acceptance of lies, a presidential candidate who thrives on that, and the potential negative impact of it all on our collective well being. That seems like perfectly legitimate Soapbox fare to me. It was not intended to mock anyone, not Joey Wahoo or anyone else. People here, me included, need to do better job of reading posts for what they actually say rather than through a political lens that purports to reveal the poster's "true" intentions. And if you vote for Trump, you are coming off my Christmas card waiting list SO fast.
