If my math is right, about 2%
lemmyseikai@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Not sure.
P(bigfoot|trump) = P(bigfoot and Trump)/P(trump)
If bigfoot and Trump are independent events then it’s just 14%
Otherwise we need to compute P(bigfoot and Trump) which is likely only possible to figure out with a survey or something.

11% think he’s honest which means they’ll believe everything he says.

It’s insane that in this day and age people still believe in Bigfoot. It’s obviously just a Yeti in a gorilla suit.
Quill7513@slrpnk.net 17 hours ago
there are many species of bigfoot. there’s Yeti, Yowai, Sasquatch, and Woodbooger just off the top of my head. to treat them all as the same species ignores how different their local environments are, and therefor that they would surely required different physiologies to survive.
unless of course we assume that bigfoot is some manner of hetero sapien with similar skills in tool use and adaptation to homo sapien

Bigfoot is a 70s hippie who wants you to smoke grass and love one another.
I’d vote for Bigfoot.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 day ago
What is the overlap ot the two groups?

I’d wager 99 to 100%

nah lefties love bigfoot. the “believing in bigfoot” community is very split on trump. i think there should be a sociological/anthropological investigation into bigfoot beliefs as well as how our media environment promotes far right cryptozoologists (cryptofascist cryptozoologists) more than far left cryptozoologists

Did a recent poll come out? The last poll I saw in August 2025 (The Economist/YouGov) saw him at 31% total (page 29). A reduction to essentially 1/3 of that seems pretty farfetched.

Yeah it seems wildly inflated to me honestly. But I guess it also depends where you are and who you interact with.

19% believe these two statistics

How many believe Bigfoot is honest and trustworthy?

I wish meme’s like this included a little footnote of sources. It’d ensure those that need to see it aren’t so dismissive.
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 1 day ago
We’re in shitpost. Sources should be banned here. This post is dangerously close to just more political shit, but bigfoot fortunately saves the day. We don’t need to get serious. In fact, being serious is the antihesis of shitposting.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Everything that comes out of Trump’s mouth is bullshit, And nobody has ever seen Bigfoot, so Ithis is an amusing valid comparison.

I like talking about Bigfoot. My family (extended) loves him. We have a Bigfoot costume we like to prank the Littles with. Every few years we go snow camping, and someone will distract them while one of the uncles goes into the cabin and throws on the costume. Then we go on a snipe hunt, and oh my gods it’s Larry (family lore, that’s his name) the local Bigfoot. One time uncle Dennis was in the shower singing at the cabin and, well, Dennis and my nibling Claire are the only ones on that side of the family who are gone deaf. Dude sounded like a moose. So we told Claire that Dennis was actually Larry taking a shower and please give him some privacy on his way back out to the cold. Shit like that.
We’ve been doing this, uh, four, five generations now.

Can we talk about Bigfoot, I’ve been dying to talk about Bigfoot
Bigfoot is one I lean more to it existing. There’s a lot of circus around the people looking for it, yes. But I’ve seen/heard enough accounts of interactions that do I believe there’s some common denominator it all.
Is there a smoking gun? No, but I do think the wilderness is wilder than we think. Like whatever is absolutely booking it along this cliff.
Then this one, definitely just a dude in a suit… doing a masterclass in practical effects? I don’t know. That’s not a small tree.
I think there’s a better chance of something big, smart, and strong bipedal in the woods than the WH for sure.

I always believed in Bigfoot, but in kind of an impersonal way. I never really thought about it, but if guys asked you know I mean sure I believe. Prove it’s not out there. Kind of toward the skeptical side of belief. I’d never seen that footage though and now I especially believe in Bigfoot, holy shit dude that thing on the mountain is nuts

My parents unironically told me they know he’s untrustworthy and hope his election results in dissolution of the government, general anarchy, and eventually the second coming of Christ. We no longer talk.

People are saying he met with Hillary Clinton in the woods when she lost in 2016 and he doesn’t have a US birth certificate.
MeatPilot@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Bigfoot would like to address your concerns. First of all Bigfoot only met with Hillary Clinton to discuss if America was ready for a cryptid in office and in 2016, America was just not ready.
Since then I have met with representatives from the DNC and it was decided my policies and imagine would be better accepted in a post-Trump Democracy. Bigfoot can promise federally legal marijuana laws and common sense abortion laws that put human females first.
As for Bigfoots US citizenship. I think there was some confusion since my address is a Redwood in the middle of Northern California. But I can assure you I was born here and the woodland creatures can provide evidence of that.
I think this opens up a conversation about recent ICE misconduct. Under my administration, I would rebuild ICE and DHS with stronger policies that would never allow the abuse e see today. After all my best friend Chupacabra immigrated here from Mexico, he has been a fine example for how immigrants can strengthen our economy and communities. Chupacabra went from scuttling amongst rocks and sucking on goats in Mexico to a entrepreneur in America in the real estate and investment sector.
I can promise you Bigfoot will stamp out corruption in 2028.
