Would You Sign This Petition?
Funny, or scary? Your choice. Kind of a fun video here of a guy talking people in San Diego into signing a petition in support of the "Orwellian Police State". To be fair to the signers, you don't hear what he says to get them started and all people seem to be signing the petition by the time you see him mention the police state, Nazi Germany and the rest.
It's probably not all that far fetched since most people don't pay much attention to politics. I suspect many of those who do might knowingly sign the same petition if explained a different way.

No! It's obvious that the current administration supports a 'national police force.' Never in the history of America has the federal government had so many armed police in various agencies.
Funny, but scary. Funny if you think this isn't representative, scary if it is.
Here is another version, signing to repeal the 4th Amendment. The couple about one minute in hesitate, and sign after making sure they understand, not what the 4th Amendment is, but what the petition would do...

I thought I saw a similar and more recent poll somewhere, but this one from over ten years ago shows up to half of respondents thought the press had too much freedom:

Just a side note he usually posts unedited videos of his petition signing So you can get a true idea of how dumb down people have become and also most of these petitions are signed outside of college campuses
