Many won't leave no matter what happens.
Some have left already.
Everyone else is somewhere in-between.

What a perfect ending sentence and picture.
I could imagine a few other ways this could have gone, that might have conveyed a bit different message. Like:
Welcome to the game, newbs!
"Certainly not many people would be dumb enough to..." -> Almost half the nation proceeds to prove them wrong.:-(
"Well what else were we to do, leave the only other option be BERNIE SANDERS!?"
Republicans are not "conservatives" nor are Democrats "liberals", I now realize.:-(
Absolutely, and I think it gets skewed even further by e.g. many TV shows and movies not even showing the presence of minorities at all. It's a collective blanket that gets pulled over people's heads.
But also, certain parts were legit better too (even as other parts were much worse), like there was an extremely brief period where the USA was not in one of the variety of forever wars, and supposedly a minimum wage really was a living wage somehow, at some point? (I'm not sure how many people got paid the *minimum" though, certainly fruit pickers would not be).
Laporfic? :-P
More importantly (to me), it's also a meme!:-P
^ This - they will reference that it exists, therefore blah blah whatever they want to say after that as if somehow the former had even the slightest relation.
Example: Jesus says "love people, especially those you disagree with". Translation: Civil War time muddafuckers!
You mean create jobs - what kind of nutball idea is that? I won't stand for it - that's not how I want ~~my~~ our tax money to be spent! I will burn this place to the ground before I let that happen.
- Republicans, all across the entire nation
They are: K-I-S-S :-P
So long as cute guy says it, it's fine:-D.
But no matter what ugly guy says, it's not! :-P
Part of it was that the study, if you are thinking of the same one as me, referenced the concept that: would you work twice as hard for $100k as you would for $50k? Like if the latter was a 40hr/week job, would you work a 80hr/week one for twice the pay? At some point you start to dip into diminishing returns - like you'll work a bit harder but not TWICE as hard, so after that point, each additional dollar is not worth as much as those before that point.
Which makes perfect sense - like if you could make 100k at 50hrs per week, what's the point of making 200k at 100hrs per week, it's just too stressful to try to keep up?! At some point, with your basic needs met, you are no longer as aggressive at chasing down additional funds, and people would generally prefer to relax a bit, and Quality of Life concerns rise to the foreground over money.
And there's probably other considerations as well, e.g. working for yourself vs. others.
