Does. Not. Matter.

When you vote for T you know you are getting all of T.

> In fact, all the data shows that the economy was the absolute top issue by a huge margin.

Sure, and the poorly educated overwhelmingly chose to believe the lies they were told because they were attractive, and were taken advantage of. It doesn't matter. Lets say they were single issue voters on the economy, well, they still voted for T knowing all of what that entails.

Sure, I agree with all that? They're all morally culpable.

That's totally irrelevant as to whether the current actions are actually popular.

Then there was no sense in you pointing out that a vote for T is not a vote for every dimension of T, since pointing out the obvious and gets another answer pointing out the obvious in response.

> That's totally irrelevant as to whether the current actions are actually popular.

You've chosen to rely on a single poll that supports your contention that they aren't, when pretty much every single other source of info is contrary to that.

You want to put all your faith in a poll, that's on you. There isn't much for us to discuss so I'd appreciate it if you stopped replying to me, so we don't just go around in circles.

Well it’s directly relevant to the claim “most Rs voted for T (fact) therefore you can infer most Rs support T_{specific policy}.”

Just simple logic!

No, I am actually not relying on a single poll. Pretty much all polls, even those with a conservative bent, converge on my claim and dispute yours.

This can’t possibly be news to you, otherwise you’d be sharing evidence to the contrary.

Instead you’re just openly declaring your own inability/unwillingness to assess information quality, and being proud of it?

Strange interaction indeed!

I can think of a few motivations one would have to knowingly deceive themselves into believing the immigration enforcement actions are popular, and all of those motivations are bad. Even aside from the basic violation of intellectual honesty.

It's simple "logic", for sure.

> Instead you’re just openly declaring your own inability/unwillingness to assess information quality, and being proud of it?

That's your interpretation, which is far from reality. I think the big difference here is you put way more value on polls than is warranted. It's not like you've provided a ton of sources, either.

I likely won't be relying to you further, as I don't see the point. Cheers.
