(8,445 posts)There are people who never watch news. I talked to someone yesterday who had no idea that -45 had a summit with Putin.
There are some people who picked a side, and they'll stick with it no matter what, simply because they're ignorant of the facts because they don't pay attention.
And most of the a 31 percent are MAGATs.

(1,580 posts)I work with drumph supporters who are generally nice folks. They are the type who basically just work their jobs, live their lives and never watch the news or keep up with current events. The local small town newspaper doesn't deal with politics or national/world news so they would have to be inclined to search out information on the treachery of drumph and the republican party. As far as they are concerned, things are just great now because babies are being saved and Jesus is going to become the center of everyone's life.
These are people who attend an odd denomination church that promotes having huge families, one of my coworkers had 15 kids, and all of those kids are havings kids galore. It's the Quiverfull thing. A lot of these households don't even have a television set and are pretty much totally uninformed. When I bring up some of the atrocities that are being committed, they think I am the one living in an alternate reality. These people will never vote Democratic because as far as they are concerned Democrats are not the party of God, and it is something that will never change.
