(2,679 posts)No seriously, its a lot to do with the age of their voters. Most rethugs I know (and I know a lot of them), are over the age of 75 and they have very bad hearing aids. Not to mention their short term memory is pretty much non-existent. They fall for the con every time.
Then there is the media that thinks this crap sells cause the hate shows on faux get great rating, but its really because all the old people watch faux noise 24/7. The thing is they watch the fake news channel all day and night every day because they are retired and don't really have much else to do. They also tend to have the volume cranked when watching, you know cause of the hearing issues. So much for trying to have a chat and maybe talk about the lies. But the person always thinks you are yelling at them and mad. Which is true as one has to yell to be heard when the tv is cranked all the way up and the person watching needs new hearing aids.
The rest of that party consists of racists and bigots so of course they will believe any lie that makes their hate grow. They live for this stuff. Makes them feel better. Whatever ....
