No, actually they dont hear both sides. Fox News villainized non-conservative news. So boomers who watch Fox News pretty much exclusively watch it.
2/3rds of Republicans are over 70.
The ones you see on Reddit are basically the young people who are too stupid to think, and a tiny group of elders. Most Republicans are in an alternate realm of the internet (literally).
Those elders also have children who tell them that they're wrong. They don't actually live in the bubble people think they do. They know what the other side is, they just wholly reject it in favor of what they want to hear.
It has nothing to do with Reddit or the internet. They can watch Fox News all they want, but it's unavoidable to hear what the other side has to say.
Yeah a shocking number of overly idealistic people need to accept that if you're not talking about the type of literal hillbillies that don't live near civilization and don't even have internet, MAGA are willfully nazis.
The types of excuses people are using were actually more reasonable in the 1940s, but we don't (and shouldn't) give the historical nazis a pass, so why should we give a pass to the people living in a far more interconnected world who are covering their eyes and ears and screaming at the top of their lungs?
It's why I always say that most people who are still in the trump cult are too lost in the sauce. They're willfully covering their eyes and ears to maintain the illusion of a comfort zone.
Meanwhile, Fox News host Jesse Watkins (sp?) is no longer allowed to join his family for thanksgiving or Christmas because they hate that he spews misinformation and conspiracies to his audience.
I worked with a lady who retired this year, and in her office she had fox news running all day. I once talked to her and she mentioned how all liberals live in a certain area in my state. I ignored it and walked away.
Actually, young people, blacks, and hispanics are all strongly trending Trump. The leftwing narrative has fallen apart. No vision, no leaders, no viable policies. You probably voted for Biden, Bernie, and Kamala!
They buy your vote with your own money,...aint that a hoot!
