Poll: Sheeple Not Yet Woke About Jade Helm

FIRST THEY CAME FOR BASTROP

With the military training exercise/prelude to martial law Jade Helm in the news, it was only a matter of time(?) before someone polled the American electorate on just how worried they in fact were about military exercises. The answer: ehhhh.

Rasmussen, a center-right polling firm, found that 65% of voters are just fine with the U.S. military conducting exercises in their state, and a similar number don’t see it as any infringement on citizens’ rights.

That having been said, 45% “are concerned that the government will use U.S. military training operations to impose greater control over some states,” with more than a third of that group “very concerned.” (This may be an instance of priming, in which the lead-up questions skew the result of later questions.)

At any rate, sheeple ain’t yet woke. Maybe next time Alex Jones should make his Sunday show appearance.
