republicans are better for the economy. What is it going to take to change that belief? Proof doesn't seem to work.

Why people on SS would vote Republican. I’ve seen Trump signs in front of dilapidated homes where I know they draw disability. If it weren’t for democrats they wouldn’t draw a penny. I figure they’re just lost causes…

9. Crazy I know, but when you're fed a steady stream of RWNJ BS all day long via Fox

and Reicht-winged hate radio, it's easy to see why these ill-informed morons blame the wrong people for their ills.

I live in the Pacific NW and in September of 2016 I drove through the Rust Belt (WV, PA, OH, MI, and IL) and then took the train into the deep south (TN, LA, AL, MS, and FL) and rented a car. All we saw were Trump signs (usually huge billboard-size or in front of a run-down trailer). We didn't see one Hillary sign until we got to NOLA.

I made a study of the number of RWNJ and religious radio stations there were in the towns, tried to read the local newspaper editorials, and understand why they vote against themselves. They are fed crap which makes them angry and keeps them ignorant, they are often already racist and bigoted because they don't understand anything and haven't been anywhere.

These people are not evolving, and I am really fking tired of being locked in a room with the slow learners.

Does it make any sense? I mean if you're going full Nazi, you go all the way.

12. The Fox Polling outfit has always been pretty good/accurate. It is the only decent thing about Fox.

They know who the adults in the room are. Even while many of them insist on denying it.

11. The problem is Fox News. Their policies are grossly unpopular.

And in fact a lot of their policies border on abuse. When can we kick these abusive assholes to the curb?

13. So what issues do people think Republicans handle better?

I suspect that anything the survey would show there (like maybe inflation/economy) would, itself, be the result of misinformation.
