I'm no archivist. Just curious. Those figures looked unlikely to me, so I thought I'd check the source the data for the graph supposedly come from.
I also did searches for "Liberal", "Moderate" and "Conservative". None of them turned up in the main text or the datasheets. One of the datasheets asked if the respondents considered themselves Republican, Democrat, Independent or Something else. That might map to Liberal, Moderate and Conservative, I suppose, but again, no attempt has been made to cross-reference anything. The study only reveals that 27% considered themselves Republican, 29% Democrat, 29% Independent, 13% Something else and 1% did not answer. That only adds up to 99%, once again probably due to rounding.
O man, looks like the alt-right is having a ball creating variations on the theme, all with different numbers, but the same angle. I just found three of them. Here is one:

Yabbut Jussie Smollett. And stealth-edits. They're even retroactive, you know? Perhaps - no - certainly radioactive as well.

What's funny is that I think I referenced the source immediately, and the amount of trust we all have in that source hasn't changed.
(the source was Milo Y.)
Now fact-check the 'CUM' one!!

Speaking of Milo, he has apparently found Jesus and gone straight and alleges that dogs no longer bark at him now that he no longer gay.

No, Daggles. The source was the Pew Research Center and what attracted my attention was the ratio. I can easily imagine that liberals tend to be more likely to have a "health condition" than conservatives, but nowhere near twice as much. A ten per cent difference would not have caught my eye, no matter the source.
I was not surprised that you would bring it in here, though. It totally harmonises with your biases.

I guess it's worth the attention. 

The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

I hadn't been following him lately, but think it's weird that he invokes so much respect. I pointed out in my post that it was from him, and somehow folks feel compelled to check his 'facts' anyway.
I'm still waiting for the sock 'fact-check', as it is likely to be even funnier.

What's amusing is he's posted this before, only that time his "source" wasn't Milo whatshisname.Hermit wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 11:27 pmNo, Daggles.
