That's why when people ask "What's wrong with that person or party or America?" My answer two words and two sentence.

Fox News. It is because most if not all right-wing news outlets are not news outlets, they are opinions with entertainment designed to make money. When all your news is slanted one way and you are surrounded by people exactly like you it's hard to believe anything from outside your bubble.

My solution is always the same. Turn off Fox News for 90 days and read the newspaper instead.

Honestly I do not know how people can even watch that channel. My head hurts after the first 30 seconds and I can only tolerate it 5 minutes at a time.
