Rasmussen: The elite 1% represent 1% of the population. They are extraordinarily influential. A heavy concentration of them went to one of 12 elite schools. The reason I bring that up is about half the policy positions in government, half the corporate board positions in America, are held by people who went to one of these dozen schools.

Their views really play a large role in the country, and it all feeds into this elite 1%.

They are in power centers. Somebody who is in Manhattan or Washington, D.C., is in a different circle of public influence than somebody who lives in McKinney, Texas.

If you’re thinking of who’s shaping the mainstream media narrative, it’s this group



Rasmussen: We asked voters, 1,000 voters, to suppose there was an election and it was close but your candidate lost. And if their campaign team knew they could win by cheating and not get caught, would you want them to do so?

Among voters, only 7% say they’d rather cheat than win.

Among the elite 1%, 35% would rather cheat than win.

Then among a group that we call the politically obsessed elite—people who are not only in the elite 1%, but they talk politics every day—69% of them would rather cheat to win the election.



Bluey: What are their views on government compared to the general population?

Rasmussen: Let’s start with a very simple one. Most Americans think we don’t have enough individual freedom. Among the elite 1%, about half say, “No, we’ve got too much freedom.” And among that politically obsessed group, about 7 out of 10 say, “There’s too much individual freedom in America.”

That’s just mindboggling to me, but part of the reason is because they trust government. In America, it’s been 50 years since most voters trusted the government to do the right thing most of the time. But among the elite 1%, 70% trust the government.

The whole idea of being against cheating is predicated upon the elections being legitimate in the first place.

If we pass more laws, we can show our support of the government and the elite 70% who believe we have too much freedom. For those who may be confused, it's the same as killing 3 birds with one stone. Those elites are pretty efficient, you know.

I don't think immigrants, not even combined with Americans, have enough "F&CK YOU Money" for the elites to even be concerned with.

But, people need something to gripe about on a day-to-day, why not focus attention elsewhere and not the root of the problem.

Probably my short attention span as I get older, but couldn't really parse a point out of that lol
 
That depends. If Stalin was the nominee on the Democratic side and you knew what he was going to do if he became president, would you cheat to beat him?
 
Maybe I want him to win tho

You vote him, I’ll vote her, and we can cancel each other out.

Or, I’ll stick to my original plan, pick weeds that day and let this country get what it deserves ;-) I’m a very firm believer in that :up:

Fixed that for them
