    It’s small comfort, but a large portion of that 40% just vote straight R all the way down the ballot without the slightest bit of knowledge of who they are voting for.

      I am guessing most of that large portion were still aware of the “black Nazi” shit and it wasn’t enough to make them think maybe they shouldn’t vote straight R.

        I don’t think many R voters in NC have any contact with news outside of the fox breitbart oann whatever conservative talking head is popular now.

        On the other hand I agree that if they heard about it it wouldn’t have changed their vote, though.

        That is where the fostering of the idea that the media is unreliable comes in. Even if they heard this, they didn’t believe it to be true.
