Yep, I think that’s part of what we see with polls.
Regardless of politics or our views, all of us know what the “politically correct” answer is to a poll question. All of us know the “politically correct” views of various issues.
So, when polling on transsexual military issues, we know the politically correct opinion is to say you are in favor of them in the military.
On global warming, we know we are supposed to believe in global warming.
On race issues, black lives matter, etc. we know we are supposed to think that Trayvon and Michael Brown are saints and martyrs, and that there is an epidemic of police using young black men for target practice.
On illegal alien issues, we know the politically correct opinion is that we are supposed to grant amnesty, otherwise we are bigoted and xenophobic.
With Muslim issues, Hillary would call us Islamophobic if we question Muslim immigration or travel to America.
And so it goes. Some people fear being called racist sexist homophobic xenophobic Islamophobic, per Hillary’s criteria, so a certain number will tell pollsters they are liberal on whatever the issue is. too many have been conditioned to think that if you oppose liberal views then people will think you are some sort of bigot.
“if you oppose liberal views then people will think you are some sort of bigot...”
You’re right.
I did an informal poll of half a dozen young workers (under age 25) on my crew and they were all in lockstep in favor of trans in military, homosexual marriage, and global warming.
They get all their news from late night comics and social media. The liberal/radical conformity pressure of social media must be enormous.
