A Maga was just brutally owned over the state of the UK right now and if this happened to us we wouldn’t leave the house for a week
Turns out Americans know Britain even less than we thought hey did.
We don’t mean all Americans, obviously, just the Maga bit. And when we say the Maga bit, what we really mean is Chloe Trapanotto, a journalist for American conservative news website and much else besides Th Daily Wire.
They were quizzed by journalist Harry Cole about the state of Britain right now. This wasn’t the only bit she got wrong, but it’s surely the most eye-opening, a clip that has gone viral on Twitter for reasons that will become apparent.
America’s view of Britain… Vs stats….
“What do you think the Muslim population of Britain is?”
“50%”
It’s 6.5… pic.twitter.com/A9oTm7nxa4

Perhaps the most striking thing about this – apart from the ignorance, obviously – is the fact she barely blinks when she is told just how wrong she is. Joy of the Maga mindset, right?
These people surely said it best.

She is casually off by almost 50% and then go off like her point is still valid and she didn’t say something dumb. Fucking stupid, American arrogance.

Who is this person and how dumb is she on a scale of 1 to 10? She thinks Muslims are the majority of Britain’s population? How much indoctrination of people have Elon Musk and co done on this hellsite of his? https://t.co/QjSdDZG9Iu

Jeezo. Why do so many Americans form such strong opinions about stuff, without doing even a modicum of research. So unbelievably gullible.

The level of ignorance of many Americans concerning the UK is astounding, where do they get these figures ~?

This highlights how ill informed people are
Ok this is the US
You ask the same question of Reform spporters and not one would say 6.5% https://t.co/jrHWHRoQdw

Americans really do not understand percentages. I’m surprised the answer wasn’t 600%.

fucking hell. I think i’ve lost a neuron listening to this exchange.
Harry, you can’t position yourselves as the smart one when you platform idiots like this. Soaking in this garbage is intellectual atrophy.

It also wasn’t lost on people that Harry Cole is editor at large of the US edition of … The Sun.
Editor at The Sun can’t understand why the American right has such a warped understanding of Muslims in the U.K. after his employers spent decades warping people’s perspectives of Muslims in the U.K. https://t.co/9aouLciSOe pic.twitter.com/KJsEBKfoxm
