50%
A not so common known fact is that 50% of the population will not agree with you. This doesn’t always sit comfortably with most of us. We believe of course that we are right and everyone else is wrong.
You only need to look at the evidence of the US presidential election and the Brexit referendum. Both of those events were miss judged by the media and politicians alike. The polls gave us the wrong data and nobody expected the results.
Pretty much the votes were 50/50.
Now take this into your own life, your work and community and you will experience the same even in your own family.
In my family there are 4 kids, now of course adults. 2 of them don’t agree with the other 2 and as a consequence don’t speak to each other. When my parents were alive you could split the family unit exactly into 2. 50% of the unit were predisposed to be mostly negative and 50% were predisposed to be mostly positive.
If you are regularly commenting on Social Media, you will definitely have 50% of your readers that will disagree with you, unless they know you very well, in which case they probably keep quiet.
Recently I made a comment on LinkedIn on a post by one of my connections. I noticed a few days later they had disconnected from me. Interesting.
Everyone has an opinion, just because you think you are right, it doesn’t make the other person wrong.
Happy judging!
