A new Wason Center poll finds that 86% of Republican voters and 61% of independent voters say major American news organizations publish fake news stories for political purposes.

Said pollster Rachel Bitecofer: “President Trump’s rhetoric appears to be having a massive impact on voter confidence in the media. Although confidence in media has been declining for the past few decades, this represents a sharp decline in trust, which carries serious implications.”

Also interesting: “Political polarization in the American electorate runs deep. 71% of Republicans say the views of Democrats are a threat to the country; 55% of Democrats say the same about Republicans.”

5. So 7 out of 10 Republicans believe we are a "threat to the country."

While only 5.5 out of 10 Democrats believe Trump and his fascist crap are a “threat to the country.”

While this poll has a bullshit factor, it nevertheless offers a signal lesson: Republicans are ready for a brawl. They’re not going to hand over the keys politely.

Are Democrats prepared to fight hard? And sad to say, taking the high road isn’t a winning option this time around.
