A classic chart to counter the wisdom of crowds idea. US Americans are absolutely clueless about how common things are. They think over a quarter of Americans are Native Americans, one in five Americans is transgender, over a quarter of the population are Muslim, one in five households earn over half a million dollars. The right answer to all of these questions is 1%. They build their worldview on totally incorrect assumptions towards reality. Data literacy matters.

I'm tracking rural county voter turnout, which, as the experts have told us, is higher than in 2022, and red counties are the firewall, so it looks like good news for Rs- until you see this: Childress County, which is ground zero for data centers + out of water, is showing near-presidential election turnout. Other data center counties like Jack & Armstrong have similar patterns. #txlege
