Also a lot of those people have over $1M? Maybe we should stop asking people anything about facts.
The average American thinks that the combined Muslim, Jewish and Native American population makes up a combined 84% of the country when it is, in fact, 4%
Absolutely. This aligns with this yougov poll that shows actual percentages of the U.S. population on the left in red and perceived percentages on the right in blue. Most people assume the population is much more rich and more diverse than it actually is.

"Thus the paper’s entire opinion section has taken on the discomforting character of a drunken middle-aged man trying to hit on a self-possessed college student by lecturing her on why she shouldn’t believe all the communist crap they teach in school." www.cjr.org/analysis/leg...
Legacy papers have been weird and hostile toward Zohran Mamdani.
The New York City mayoral candidate promises radical change that editorial boards don’t want, even if voters do.

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.
