In the U.S. (and the western world at large) there are large gaps in how we perceive our ideological opposition and how they perceive us. It is very important for us to be aware of realty and where our perceptions may be flawed. A study came out in 2018 called the hidden tribes ( https://hiddentribes.us/ ) and it revealed some interesting things:
>Progressives only make up 8% of the U.S.
>The largest group in the U.S. is the politically disengaged 26% of the population
>The politically disengaged are generally young, low income, distrustful, detached, patriotic,
conspiratorial
>61% of the politically disengaged believe that Immigration nowadays is bad for America, costing the welfare system and using resources that could be spent on Americans
>52% of the politically disengaged agree that white privilege is not real
>52% of the politically disengaged agree that "Nowadays, too many ordinary behaviors are labelled as sexual harassment"
>60% of the politically disengaged believe that immigration is bad
>The politically disengaged are the group most likely to believe that being white is a core part of being American (30%)

An interesting excerpt:
>Education is intended to make us better informed about the world, so we’d expect that the more educated you become, the more you understand what other Americans think. In fact, the more educated a person is, the worse their Perception Gap – with one critical exception. This trend only holds true for Democrats, not Republicans. In other words, while Republicans’ misperceptions of Democrats do not improve with higher levels of education, Democrats’ understanding of Republicans actually gets worse with every additional degree they earn. This effect is so strong that Democrats without a high school diploma are three times more accurate than those with a postgraduate degree.
I highly recommend going through these studies. It turns out a lot of normies agree with us on several issues.
