Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : We should be taking action to reduce carbon emissions that are causing global warming of air and oceans.
39% : Trump has an authoritarian mindset; he aspires to be a strongman, like Putin, like Victor Orban, like Kim Jong Un.
33% : Climate Change: Since it is a hoax, fossil fuels will remain paramount in producing energy while global warming will progressively take its toll.
32% : Most of those I know who voted for Trump did not really vote "for" him.
32% : When he became president in 2016, Trump established a commission to investigate voter fraud, chaired by VP Mike Pence and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.
30% : Trump and his confederates still claim the 2020 election was rigged.
28% : That is because Trump and some voters do not appear to understand that tariffs are paid by the importer and not the sending country.
27% : Those writing about how they could not understand how so many people could vote for Trump and how the country is doomed.
27% : If most Americans believe our electoral system is corrupt, we're done as a democracy and if you are casting a vote for Trump, you're casting a vote to rip up our Constitution and say goodbye to our democracy.
25% : Trump, a convicted felon, is a cancer on our body politic and we must excise him.
4% : Socialism: Obamacare and Medicaid will disappear; Social Security and Medicare will be privatized.
