The majority of GOP voters, like the majority of all voters, maybe catch a bit of news while watching the local news for weather in the morning or see a bit of the nightly news in the evening or read an article they come across on Facebook, but are mostly disengaged from politics on a day to day basis. The majority of GOP voters have never heard of 4chan or Inforwars and don't know what Redstate or the Federalist is either. The majority don't have Twitter accounts, don't listen to Rush or Hannity, don't post about politics on the Internet, aren't watching FOX News on a daily basis, etc.

you're a east coast elite, man. you've never lived in the boonies. these are my people. you are wrong, wrong, wrong.

This Mexico wall thing is such a travesty. What a bunch of idiots running this country currently. I cannot even believe what I read about it today. Spicer is an utter moron.

it's amazing to me that the conservative party has abandoned all their ideals for this man's fantasy about a Wall and tax

It's pathetic, actually. Utterly pathetic.

I believe they should do exactly that.

take an 8 x 10 glossy of his tiny crowd, blow it up to poster size, and send that bigger crowd picture back to him

Now, the media may be twisting words on that story. The quote from the source stated something more akin to "do you have other photos we can see" as opposed to "send photos with larger crowds shown," the latter being very propaganda-y.

Ridiculous but I do think the media spin on this may be a bit overstated. The story should ask how many times did Obama call this guy over 8 years. Bet its FEW.

This is fact. I grew up in rural PA and my brother's friends are pretty connected to what's going on on those sites. Not so much with anything worth reading.

But I don't think they're dumb, my brother certainly isn't. It will take a while, but if we keep reminding them that we are all americans first, I think the truth will trickle through.

I'm feeling optimistic this morning.

maybe misinterpreted, rather than overstated. As you say, the story is this that immature, self-absorbed clod is calling about crowd pictures at all

42% of Trump supporters think it's fine if Trump has a private email server.

So this 3 million illegal voter fraud thing goes back to a man named Gregg Phillips who made this claim on 11/13/16, before many (all?) states even certified their results. This of course was retweeted by Alex Jones a few months ago, and Supreme Leader Trump is now looking forward to seeing the final results of Mr. Phillips investigation.

If you want to laugh/cry google Gregg Phillips/Chris Cuomo to hear him try and defend his feeble claim. Of course that's CNN so it was fake news anyway.
