A new Pew Research Center study found 53% of U.S. adults rated Americans’ morals and ethics as “bad,” making the U.S. the only country surveyed where that view prevailed.
Trust in other people underpins everything from civic life to everyday cooperation, so broad skepticism about neighbors’ character can shape politics, institutions and social cohesion.
Pew’s findings add an international benchmark to a long-running American debate about polarization and whether people see opponents—and even fellow citizens—as acting in good faith.
Well, republicans fully support child rape at this point… so …
Rape and murder (see Iran bombings, Palestinian genocide, American school shootings, etc.)
I was doorbelling for a local mayoral race. One of the people who we met openly talked about how if we have him a squad of US Marines (he said he was one) and a wood chipper he would “solve the homelessness problem in no time”.
So… That’s the kind of interactions I have with conservatives. Please let me know what I should fill out on this survey based on that kind of data.

Well yeah, a country running tattletale hotlines is not a country of good morales
If you’re a republican or a conservative or otherwise support the current administration, then you’re a bad person. If you don’t think trans rights are human rights, then you’re a bad person. If you treat anyone in such a fashion that you would not want to be treated you are a bad person. This easily eliminates two thirds or three quarters of my countrymen. Americans are largely the problem with America, our whole culture is built around effectively anti-social principles and it fucking shows. We pour bleach on dumpster food instead of distributing it to homeless or needy even though we have legal protection from liability. Throwing away excess food costs more than redistributing it to local shelters, so we are intentionally cruel just for love of the game. Americans are bad people, nobody needs to think about it.

American exceptionalism come home to roost
I’m fully ready to believe those gullible uneducated rednecks are acting in good faith, after falling for the most vile manipulative hate speech
… I’ve NEVER been surveyed in 40 years of America life… starting not to trust titles like these
I used to work at a call center that did these kinds of surveys, 95% of people just say no or hang up, the only folks that answer them are old, mostly conservative, people that still have land lines.
In the area I’m in, people think that lying is perfectly fine now. Even if you’re not a liar, people assume that you’re lying all the time, because they think it’s stupid to not lie. People think if you’re not lying, you’re a sucker.
It’s hard to get anything done because the mechanics and the plumbers and the city workers and the doctors and dentists and insurance companies and the people we work for and the religious leaders and on and on are all lying. If you’re a good liar with no conscience, life is a paradise–for the rest of us it’s hell.
America is a great case study for how you use lies and propaganda to get people to hate each other. So glad our government is literally ran by assholes that allow this.
