18% are unsure.

The Sun could wink out of existence and there'd be a double-digit percentage of USAmericans unsure that it happened.

Here I was wondering what Sun (newspaper) you were referring to.

The joke is: I have never met an American who didn’t have a strong opinion on any topic. Even if they didn’t they would feel called out and make shit up.

"Not sure" isn't the same as not having a strong opinion, especially in the US.

They're very sure that it's impossible to have an opinion one way or the other.

47% of Americans think you should eat a handful of glass everyday

47% of Americans think you should not eat a handful of glass every day

6% of Americans are undecided on if they should eat a handful of glass everyday.

Every American poll is this within a +/- 5% margin

There isn't shit going on in Portland. There's food carts and rain. It's nice. Last year it broke into the top fifty US cities. Nothing shitty going on.

Except when fuckhead fascists come in there and start stuff. They are the problem. Fucking fascists stay outta our cities!!!
