My eyes are bleeding
- Black text on a red background: famous for being highly legible

Can you list the sources? I can't read them
- Really hard to read - I OCR'd it and it looks about right, but I can't guarantee:

  Thank you for this!
  I was curious about the 95.5% support and read that source, then stopped when they started cherry picking numbers to push a narrative (citing low % of "very satisfied" vs grouping both "somewhat" and "very"). This was used to say that township-level support was low in China vs high in the US.
  Looking at the actual study, overall township-level satisfaction is 70%... which is exactly the support level that they cite for the US.

Surprisingly the eyebleeding red text has kept the ultras away
