On Polling

Brief Tho't:
When pollsters report that the number of Republicans supporting the stoopid notion that Trump actually won in 2020 is going up, I think we need to keep this one math-y thing in mind:
  1. If there are 100 people in the GOP, and 60% of them are on board with Trump's 2020 bullshit, that's 60 people.
  2. If the party shrinks to 70 people, but now 75% of them support Trump's bullshit story, that's 53 people.
I've thought there's been something wrong with the polling for quite a while. And I'm not saying that's it, and it can't be anything else.

I just think it's gotta be something, and maybe it starts with something so simple even a dolt like me can understand it.
