That’s faulty logic. They may all think alike, but it’s jumping the shark to think they couldn’t have all reached the same conclusions independently. If you ask an innocuous question of all liberal leaning bloggers and they all say yes, does it mean they can’t think independently, or does it mean they all agree with that point. Especially given how general the questions are. If they were all narrow and specific questions and offered many multiple choices, but when they are sometimes vague and mostly Yes/No, you don’t get the degrees to which they agree or the reasoning behind why they do.

The questions support a narrative. You either fall lock-step in with narrative or you don’t, according to the poll answers. Just look at the following two questions side by side, and explain how one could say they weren’t prejudice, but thinks they’re being discriminated against because they’re white.

2) If you honestly assessed yourself, would you say that you’re racially prejudice [sic]?

A) Yes: 1.6% (1 votes)
B) No: 98.4% (62 votes)

5) Do you believe that the government discriminates against white Americans based on their skin color?

A) Yes: 79.4% (50 votes)
B) No: 20.6% (13 votes)
