Have you watched a few hours of Fox? They have talking heads just blatantly lying about everything. It’s insane. And these people only watch Fox, nothing else. It’s the only place they get their info from.
I had to watch it for a couple days this week, and it was eye opening. It’s seriously a full blown propaganda machine.
It’s so fucked up when trying to talk to people that only watch their primetime peanut gallery propaganda shit storm…
I’ll never forget a conversation with my dad about fox. I told him “I won’t tell you not to watch Fox, watch it if you really want to, but stick to the actual journalist shows like Shepard Smith. The primetime shows are all opinion shows that just outright lie.”
His response was “No, Shepard Smith is too opinionated. I prefer Hannity, he tells it like it is.”
…the goddamn literal opinion show that has OPINION on the screen.
Have you ever seen the “comedy” guy? It’s their version of a late night show, and holy shit. It’s not only not funny at all, as in the jokes are legit not jokes, but it’s incredibly mean spirited. It’s craziness. The guy doesn’t smile or laugh at all during the entire show. Zero expressions, except for a cold dead frown.
Because while the concept “the cruelty is the point” doesn’t apply to every person who votes republican, it applies to a whole damn lot of them. Nearly every single one of the political actions taken by republicans that we have issue with: not feeding kids at school; trying to get rid of welfare, food stamps, assistance for people with newborns; not implementing healthcare for all; state level republicans targeting cities like Houston, Tx; Montgomery, Alabama; etc.; all comes down to them not wanting ‘those people’ to be helped.
There are many many layers, conservative media and social groups and psychological barriers, that act like an immune system, all in place to prevent information like this from actually being seen or acknowledged.
No information typically makes it past the first barrier, conservative media, which simultaneously floods the information channels with anti-left messaging. If it does, their social groups are there to discount it or kill it. If the information makes it past that, their brains are trained to resolve the cognitive dissonance to reject or disbelieve it.
And that is why we’re really screwed. There’re things like this all the time that should be killing Trump’s candidacy. The system in place to prevent that is disturbingly effective.
I’ll never understand how Trump cultists can read things like this and still think he is a good choice for President.

Most American adults can’t read at higher than a 6th grade level.
