Americans. don't know who they are!?

Earlier this year, [b]YouGov[/b] asked Americans to estimate what percentage of American adults fall under a certain identity group. On average, respondents assumed that
[b]30% of Americans are Jewish,[/b]

[b]27% are Muslim[/b]

[b]21% are transgender[/b] and

[b][i]20% earn more than a million dollars a year.[/i] [/b]

In reality, each of those groups account for
[big] [b]less than 2% of the population[/b].[/big]
[i]YouGov is an international research data and analytics group.[/i]

A) why must demographics always be the focus? People are more than that.

B) small minority demographics are "used" as political pawns so much that people begin to assume these must make up a larger % of the general population...otherwise why would so much attention be granted?!

The political landscape in this country is toxic, bc politicians are relying on relentless gaslighting to manipulate ppl.

@easterniowegin You seem to know quite a bit about gaslighting.
