Emerson: 41% of Americans under 30 years old think that Luigi Mangione’s assassination of United Healthcare’s CEO was acceptable. 19% of under 30s were neutral, only 40% think negatively of the action

and these are the dorks who waste time to answer polls
Plus people who probably would shy away from saying they support it
Love how there's a visible bump in sympathy from elderly people who have had to deal with the healthcare system more due to getting old.
Love that the actual numbers are definitly higher, adjusting for people who are less willing to admit to approving of murder to a stranger
IDK, none of those people would say they found it "completely unacceptable" though. It seems worrying to me that the number of people who find it completely unacceptable outnumber those who find it even somewhat acceptable in every demographic except under 30s.
Some might've tbh. I think the older responders are more likely to think they're supposed to say "bad" too.
Any which way, I'm impressed to see this level of support for a CEO getting assassinated in the streets coming from most housebroken population on earth, especially after weeks of the media doing its best to scold people into thinking it's bad.
I like that the title of the poll article is "Young Voters Diverge from Majority on Crypto, TikTok, and CEO Assassination". The three major issues of our age.
kinda ashamed of my demo that I'm such a small minority, but 50-59 is the lamest cohort.
When you are forced to give reparations for sharing AI slop videos on Facebook remind me of your self crit comment here and we may be able to lower your sentence
Alternative view: that age group is the most paranoid giving answers to pollsters.
This means the real number is higher. People don't answer these things truthfully when they are about who they vote for, so they will definitely not say their true feelings about a murder.
6% of grandpas are the Cool Grandpa
I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way.
America's
momentIts already down to 41%
Still not bad tho considering this is burgerland
For each age group there's a minimum ~10% bloc of people who are willing to voice support for the execution of a healthcare CEO over the phone to a polling company.
Was this poll before or after the major news story of a woman going to jail for voicing support for him?
I see a lot of people willfully submitting themselves for reeducation with this answer.
I'm just neutral. not my problem
I love the consistent 20% neutral transcending age demographics. There’s just always a 20% of people who really dgaf
Forced re-education is the only fucking answer at this point
The kids are doing alright
You mean genocide?
Aka the more you see your fellow man getting fucked the more you want see your fellow man doing the fucking
