This is straight-from-Hitler genocide inciting rhetoric. And 82% of Republicans agree

First of all it's not half, it's 45%, which is the magical number of MAGA voters, some of which do identify as Dems and Independents but mostly as Republicans, so this makes sense as but holds true with the established patterns. Also with that said 55% of Americans most likely find this kind of rhetoric offensive and backwards.

With that said, 45% is still far too high, we need better education in America, but we also need to make it easier for folks to leave their insular rural areas to get away from their ignorant bigoted communities.

The inverse of 45% is 55%.

Ackshually, it’s the complement - 45% is the main collection of the set of US voters we’re looking at, so the other 55% would be the rest of the set 🤓

But I digress - that is still a frightening amount of people who believe in the whole core belief of Nazism.
