Americans believe that 20%-30% of Americans are trans, Muslim, and millionaires. I am not kidding

These insane figures I guess are what lead people into "great replacement" type right wing conspiracy stuff... or maybe the conspiracies lead into these insane figures...
some of that is media overrepresenation, but I also think some of it is that you don't notice when things are normal/what you'd expect. Like, it would be weird to walk into a cracker barrel and think "lotta white people here." Might as well walk into a gas station and be shocked by the cigarettes.
Did they asked the same people? Jewish + muslim + atheist = 90%. Native + Asian + Black = 97%. New York + Texas + California = 92%
All those trans Muslim millionaires.
