Systematic capture. They planned it.

It saddens me to know that 68% of my country are a bunch of racists.

68%? Where is that coming from ?

According to an average of all 2023 Gallup polling, about three in four Americans said they identify with a specific religious faith. By far the largest proportion, 68%, identify with a Christian religion, including 33% who are Protestant, 22% Catholic and 13% who identify with another Christian religion or simply as a "Christian."

A large number of Trump supporters are evangelical Christians.
