[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering that less than 6% of DC residents are registered Republicans, 79% is lower than I would've expected.[/quote]

These numbers line up well.

Support for White Nationalist Ideas
	•	The American National Election Studies during the 2016 election found that:
	•	38% of Americans expressed “strong feelings of white solidarity,”
	•	28% expressed “strong feelings of white identity,”
	•	27% believed whites suffer discrimination,
	•	but only 6% agreed with all three statements  .
	•	A July 2021 Morning Consult poll indicated that among Republican-leaning male voters, 23% had a favorable view of white nationalist groups (11% “very favorable” and 12% “somewhat favorable”)  [/quote]

Add that to this, appalling stat from last year:

“But this is only half the story. When we asked about support for an authoritarian system, a worrying 41% of Americans think “having a strong leader who does not have to bother with parliament or elections” is a very good or fairly good system. This view gained slightly more support among men (45%) than women (37%). Higher earners and younger people were most likely to support a more authoritarian style.”
