There are some who believed the misinformation disseminated by the radical right sources and have came to realize it was misinformation. But as we have learned from the Dominion vs Fox lawsuit revelations, there are far more who seek out the misinformation.

That's the 30% bunch of crazies supporting MAGA who elect the " anti-democracy, racist, fascist, gun-humping, grifting, autocrat-loving, immoral, misogynistic men and women" running the country and the red-state legislatures have rigged the system to the point they can't be voted out.
