Of course this has been going on for awhile. I know many who probably voted for him. They are ignoring the news. Many seem to not be watching Fox, even. How can the Democrats get the truth out there and make a difference when more and more people are choosing to be willfully ignorant of what is going on in the country?
Reading the truth on DU or watching some truth on MSNBC and CNN is great.....for us. How does the message of our national crisis get circulated. Can we make these people learn? This bodes not well. What do you folks suggest?
Many who feel that Trump might be a danger are just closing their eyes and stopping their ears. I know such a tactic is despicable. That does not solve the problem. Speaking to them will not change their minds. What to do?

THE TRUTH. When the truth comes out we're gonna have twitter all to ourselves for awhile. Heee Haaawwwww
To be fair I think that most people really have no idea just what the hell is going on. They have a brief outline because there is reporting on the local news. Or folks don't watch news at all. It's very easy to not know anything that's going on. That used to be me.

Just get out of the adults way so we can fix what you broke. There's a righteous anger on our side and massive disappointment on theirs.
Perhaps it's just wishful thinking, but that's my take. And I'm like, really smart. Believe me, believe me.

Its tough to expect an informed electorate when Over 80% of them ignore the information sources available

Same thing during early fall 2016 when he was imploding and seemed destined to lose.
