Why would "EU perspective" make it look more or less complicated? People are people everywhere, regardless of country.

> the American electorate is relatively simple-minded

It's favorable for many people who don't agree with the current administration to believe so, I'm not sure how true it is in practice, and again, I believe believing so might hurt your chances of actually understanding things properly. That sort of bias really get in the way.

A sample size of ~2500 is statistically huge - the margin of error is very small. You should sign up to a stats course.

		You should head outside and actually talk with real humans, no stats course is gonna teach you human understanding.
