They don't follow the news daily. They watch Fox News sometimes, and they get a LOT of news from Facebook, as they share fictitious stories that are outrageous and unbelievable, but they believe them. Some of the more politically inclined read Breitbart and such.

Many of them are uneducated and just believe whatever their guy says. They really do. If they say the caravan is an invasion, then it is so. If Trump sends the troops to take care of them, then that is great. Trump doing that as a pre-election gimmick to get them worked up? The troops can't really do anything other than support the border agents, because it's against the law for the military to take action on American soil? Hogwash. You're just making that up.

Really. This is the way they are here. I know, because those are someof the responses I've gotten from them.

They don't read news articles or watch CNN or (gasp!) MSNBC or ABC or CBS. They know the NYT & Washington Post are enemies of the people, because Trump says so, not because they've ever read those sites/papers.

For a long time MSNBC had the stars wrong in the GOP logo too, I wondered if it was a deliberate jab at the GOP, to mess up their logo.

Considering how evil the Republican party has become, the three inverted pentagrams seems appropriate.

And I'll bet the other half that it does not include this design.

would have surprised us by visiting the troops on the Tex-Mex border, while wearing a first-time-ever Commander-in-Chief military-style uniform.
