It’s too late. The Republicans already have their story, inconvenient facts don’t matter. The people who care about its real origins aren’t the ones making laws.
Republicans? A huge number of Democrats believe this shit too!
It doesn’t even compare dude. It is the overwhelmingly dominant opinion for republicans, like believing in widespread election fraud. There are a lot of democrats who believe it but it’s not even close.
Pretty sure the dominant opinion for Republicans is that COVID is a hoax.
No most Republicans know that it’s a real virus but what they generally believe is it is/was not as bad as we think it is/was and it was blown out of proportion. The Wuhan lab leak conspiracy theory is mainstream for Republicans. You can hear pundits reference it all the time. Do you not remember when they all started shrieking about it again like half a year or a year ago after a really grossly misinterpreted congressional hearing?
Wuhan lab leak conspiracies are mainstream. 52 percent believe the virus came out of a lab, including 59 percent of Republicans and 52 percent of Democrats, while 28 percent said it was from an infected animal.
Maybe try using numbers that aren’t over 4 years old over studies that are less than 2 years old.
85% GOP, 53% democrats. Yes it’s mainstream but the gap is massive. Hence why I said it’s not even close.
What those numbers tell me is the majority of democrats are just as stupid and chauvinist as Republicans.
The problem is bipartisan. We were fed anti-China propaganda by our media and government; this is the result.
So you’re just going to pretend the first half of this conversation didn’t happen and that I didn’t leave plenty of room for that obvious issue we all see. Cool.
The adult thing to do would be admit your information was outdated and wrong.
Well they are. Even Fauci started backtracking on the virus having animal origins.
