Says the country that is 99% immigrant blood

You're all immigrants you idiots.

So a third of the country are Nazis.

Not racists, not misinformed, not uneducated, but actual Nazis.

In ~20 days, the most powerful and dangerous country on earth may well elect a party of Nazis to rule them.

God help us all.

A third of Americans are xenophobic bigots. Got it.

Meanwhile they proudly exclaim their great great great great grand daddy came in on the Mayflower.

Which immigrants? They said that about Italians, then Irish. Seems the new guys on the block are always the bad guys until they aren't.

A minority of voters. The stupid end of the intelligence bell curve.

As a German, knowing what happened in Nazi Germany and what Hitler’s beliefs and actions were at that time, this “rhetoric” is beyond troubling and disturbing.

Immigrants are the blood of the US. This fascist bullshit is the poison.

Any issue any position, you can get 25% to agree. Another 5% is rounding error. Another 3% you get from trolls.

Just like that, you can get 1/3 support for anything you want and clickbait your way to victory!

The US has a growing fascism problem

It does not go away with Trump. I wish democrats would address it instead of pointing at Trump like he's an aberration

Well, seeing as 1/3 of Americans are brainwashed by mass media into following whatever hype train is set forth by the rich, I can see that. If their favorite corporate owned and ran "news" told them they didn't need to eat, they would stop eating.

America is home to racist morons, has been since July 4th, 1776. Most of the Founding Fathers owned slaves, and the Senate and Electoral College were established to ease the slave owners/states that their "property" would remain theirs.

We've been a nation of hypocritical xenophobes who taught freedom and liberty while giving none of it to the majority, and every time we try to fix that they double down and make things worse. Not a single time has the US Government (or any government for that matter, but that's more a "whatabout" in this topic) given people what they wanted freely, and peacefully.

If we wanted to get rid of brain dead morons, we would solved it in the Civil War and Reconstitution. Second chance was in the 1960s when we were breaking down the barriers. Instead we still placated to the racists because we didn't want to be too mean to the racist, sexist morons who started the mess in the first place.

When my Jewish roommate told his parents he was dating a gentile they told him he was "thinning the blood"

From the "Great American Melting Pot" to this shit in one generation. WTF

That's funny because we're almost all immigrants, so I guess we're all poison?

Ehh, then again there was that whole native genocide thing.

Compare to George W. Bush, who said:

"We’re also a nation of immigrants, and we must uphold that tradition, which has strengthened our country in so many ways."

and:

"Some in this country argue that the solution is to — is to deport every illegal immigrant and that any proposal short of this amounts to amnesty. I disagree. It is neither wise nor realistic to round up millions of people, many with deep roots in the United States, and send them across the border."

and:

"We must honor the great American tradition of the melting pot, which has made us one nation out of many peoples. The success of our country depends upon helping newcomers assimilate into our society, and embrace our common identity as Americans."

I'm not saying G.W. was good or anything, but god damn that's a big change from what we see now from Republicans.

I agree.

America for Native Americans.

I searched for the actual question text and found:

Q19a. The immigrants entering the country illegally today are poisoning the blood of our country.

The split was 14% completely agreed and 20% mostly agreed.

I'm not as surprised by the results as the headline would have suggested because of the use of the word illegally. It biases the question negatively.

The 20% who mostly agreed may have agreed with some negative connotation surrounding illegal immigration while ignoring the racism of "poisoning the blood." In other words, if I put myself in the shoes of someone who feels strongly about securing the border, I could understand how those respondents would lean towards agree simply because of the use of the word "illegal."

To further support this interpretation: In the same survey, more than 40% of respondents favor or strongly favor building a wall along the US-Mexico border.

Maybe I'm just optimistic that only around an eighth of the country is completely crazy and that is just a less clickbaity title.

its the 100% venn overlap of racists. america is still pretty full up on people who hate other people for no reason but race

Who did they poll? How was the poll conducted? If it's a phone poll you're going to get old people, no one younger than 40 is going to do a phone poll. And most old people are conservatives. When it comes to polls, it's very easy to manipulate the results either in how it's done or how the results are interpreted.

1/3 of Americans are terrible people.

Seems like the usual 1/3 that agrees with trump on whatever. Not gonna change.

There are only a few counties in the world that draw the smartest and most accomplished from the rest of the world. The USA is pretty high on that list. This gives the USA an unfair advantage worldwide in several ways:

US schools and businesses get to pick from the best and brightest worldwide, promoting an atmosphere of high performance STEM jobs.

US replaces lost high education and high IQ population, since there is a negative correlation between education level and reproduction.

Finally, if you think in terms of winners vs losers, which I feel MAGAs do these days,, other countries lose their best and brightest, making them less competitive to the USA.

And of course don't forget that the vast majority of Americans come from families that immigrated, and few would argue that they themselves should be sent back "to where they came from".

No matter how you look at it, immigration is extremely advantageous to the USA if handled properly and an enviable position that many other countries wish they could be in.

Bet. So why don't all you palefaces go back to England, Ireland, Germany, Spain, France...

I mean, how many people supported slavery and later, Jim Crow.
