30% of republicans are deluded morons, 100% of Trump supporters are a subset of this group.

That linked image is from the article you just posted. It says that in total 55% of democratic voters polled had an actual opinion about bombing the fictional city. Which apparently means that over half of democrats polled honestly thought it was a real place.

And by your logic 19% of Democrats are deluded morons.

Given that I'd estimate 20% of the general population are deluded morons, that seems like a reasonable statistic.

And it's not exclusive to America either :| In fact other places can be even more uninformed.

So are people who would still elect Hilary(just to have the first female president), and are part of the "entitlement" society. It's highly obvious there are so many people that are part of the growing entitlement society(I work with a major chunk of them). Too bad though that most of the "entry" level and internship jobs I want to apply for make it seem like you need years of experience to even attempt the job...

Many folks like to use "entitlement" society and whatnot to refer to the many on welfare. This myth that those folks are just lazy is largely untrue. If there's an "entitlement" society it is rich kids and affluenza. Most on welfare don't want to be there and simply don't have the resources or tools to negotiate an escape. Growing income inequality caused by wealth/power imbalance only makes this worse.

I think someone recently did an analysis and found that almost all startups were founded by people with rich, or at least financially stable, parents. Those startup founders were able to take the risk of creating a startup because they had a stable, supportive, financially solid family to fall back on if they failed. They were empowered to take risks because they had a parachute. People without a parachute take risks just living life every day. They can't afford (in present or future capital) to compound that risk.

The irony of this claim appearing in a post complaining about "entitlement"...
