    It is absolutely a lie that 50% of the population supports trump or thinks guns have nothing to do with crime. I won’t waste my time with a bad actor like you other than to say in regards to your request for a source about crime: see any country that made guns illegal. I’m truly tired as can be when it comes to dealing with your type. That is why I’m on Lemmy. Maybe you should consider facebook?

      I’m a “bad actor” for defending both the Constitution and for expressing an opposing viewpoint? lol, ok then.

      FWIF, I don’t know for sure what the percentage of the US population is that supports Trump, I just know that Trump is leading Biden slightly or is toe-to-toe with Biden in almost every single poll. I also know that according to a Gallup poll a couple of years ago, 36% of polled people say they are conservative and only 25% say they are liberal, with another 37% identifying as moderate. Considering that Trump is the moderate candidate at this point (Biden has moved consistently to the far left during his presidency), I’d say that assuming ~50% of the population supports or at least would vote for Trump based solely on policy isn’t the worst reasoning. https://news.gallup.com/poll/388988/political-ideology-steady-conservatives-moderates-tie.aspx

      I suppose providing sources for my claims is further proof I’m a “bad actor”, eh?
