Why do Americans hate freedom?

[Kilgore Trout]

Is that even possible?

Is she that bad?

 

[Mycroft]

This is further evidence that you have a warped view of America based on misunderstandings.

I know it's only for the Primary. But even by republican's admittedly low standards this guy is extreme. So the fact he's leading for the primary speaks volumes.

 

[Mycroft]

Careful, he is leading some republican polls, that is not a reflection of the American population at large.

Yes I know that. But still...leading.

Americans, why do you hate freedom so much?

I don't...

I know it's only for the Primary. But even by republican's admittedly low standards this guy is extreme. So the fact he's leading for the primary speaks volumes.

He is liked by roughly 19% of the US voting public. The other 81% despise the guy. So, I fail to see how that is a reflection on America in any real way.

If this thread was about conservative Americans, I might agree with you. But, you stated as if America in general can be judged by the opinions of conservatives, which is absurd. Most Americans are not conservatives.

the data is now almost two years old, but...

http://www.gallup.com/poll/166763/record-high-americans-identify-independents.aspx

Even if we were to assume that 40 percent identify as Republican, 38 percent of that is about 15 percent of adult Americans. If the 25 percent cited in the article is the case, it's less than 10 percent of voters. And in the past, many who were ahead in the polls early tanked later. It's a bit early to call Trump the nominee.

It seems most Americans hate freedom. I read a lot about how they wish to curtail the freedoms of certain individuals for varying reasons.

Even on these boards I see a lot of anti-freedom rhetoric: keep the refugees out, stop the gays, etc.

Americans, why do you hate freedom so much? Let's talk about this. I'm here for you.

What makes you say it's most Americans?

A large majority support gay rights and. embrace immigration through the proper channels.
