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
foxbreitbartoannwhatever 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.
You’re talking about these people.
So of course they would also prefer a Nazi.
Anything but “the other team” winning.
sounds about right.
50 percent of the US voted for Trump, I tgink wie already knew that.
penis-in-mouth crazy
To be fair, a lot of them don’t know the full context. Don’t underestimate how much the average voter can be out of touch with news. Many of them only care about politics every four years or so.
