Iâm not sure why the prison system isnât a topic that can be pushed in all directions with pressuring a small but influential group. I would even argue that all political changes are caused by small(ish) groups, is there an example for a sudden shift of opinion covering the majority of all citizens?
Amazing how that graph resembles the national drug control budget.
You mean other than gay rights?
Was it sudden? I thought the change from anti to pro gay marriage took decades with slowly growing approval ratings?
Well, Gay rights, no. Gary marriage, probably, depending on what âsuddenâ means here.
I think itâs fair to call the switch with gay marriage âsuddenâ (I should have looked at polls before posting the above commentâŚ). In only one decade the opinion changed from ~ 30 % in favor to ~ 50 % - this is sudden and notable imo.
Someone should restructure the WP article on the public opinion of same-sex marriage in the United States. Unorganised mess.
