    “The survey revealed that just one in five young people have a positive view of Tate, though young men were significantly more likely to have a positive view of him – 32 percent of them – than young women – 9 percent. Heterosexual young people were more likely to have a positive view of him; nearly a quarter of them said so, compared to just 5 percent of LGBTQ individuals.”

      One in five is quite a bit. To make an extreme example: If one in five people on the street were looking to stab you, you’d be thinking there’s a lot of people wanting you dead.

      Also it’s ca. one in three among the young men, which is terrifying. And if the “more favorable among heterosexual” holds true for only the male half (I see no reason why it wouldn’t), that’s even higher among that demographic.

      Fuck that’s scary.

        Man, nearly one-in-two people on the street have positive opinions of other right-wing chuds who are equally as vile. As far as I’m concerned, 1-in-5 is probably as close to a win as it’s humanly possible to get considering our current society.

        Totally agree with you, how are we supposed to think these are positive numbers, it’s insane.
