    I would not trust any research that states 95% of people agree on almost anything, that’s extremely unlikely in any situation ever. Any study saying 95% of people approve of their government of all things sounds like coersion, faking, or simply a culture that fosters saying something regardless of truth. If you asked thousands of people in Russia if they approve of the government, they’ll say yes. But they aren’t being truthful. I’m betting they didn’t interview certain groups as well, as those folks are being killed by the Chinese govt. So yes one study saying one thing is definitely not enough to overcome the hurdles.

      You just blindly reject Harvard research because deep down inside you know better, right?

      It must actually boggle your mind that people can honestly approve of their government even when that government isn’t doing anything special

      Did you know around 80% of republicans support Trump? That’s about the same % of Russians who agree w Putin. You can go look that up.

      Your intuitive knowledge is worthless
