Yes, 8% is a number that comes up in polls. I actually believe the prevalence is closer to 3% where it stayed for many years. I use 3-8% because it really doesnt matter. Although, there is a percentage where a society collapses historically. Some recent polls of teens have had a number in the low 20's. This obviously reflects a social push. As someone said, claiming an identity on the rainbow alphabet makes you " cool" nowadays and a way to gain attention and status and stand out.
But going back to where you said you refused to read my post. A wise person tries to understand the opposing view. It broadens your knowledge and helps you in many ways. Someone told me once that if you can't argue a view you disagree with accurately, you can't ever be secure in your understanding of an issue. I've noticed the Left is not good at doing this. They seem to have no interest in understanding or persuasion, but rather seek to cram down their anti-norms views on others.
The Left is on a massive losing streak right now - and this close-minded stance is a big part of it imo. So, carry on.
