I don't think so. I thin k there is a subset of voters from across the spectrum who believed the skein of bullshit Trump wove about immigrants. Heck, if I believed what he was saying, I would have voted for him too.

I agree with this Tom. I think they also bought how terrible the economy is when in fact it's doing quite well. The problem is people are in information silos
It would be helpful if democratic or independent voters understood just how deep and pervasive the disinformation spewing rightwing media is. ItтАЩs the usual suspects plus podcasts, Christian outlets, along with Sinclair local radio stations pumping out republic dogma in various areas. Every concerned voter should research the various propaganda outlets so you know what Republican voters are being marinading in every day. ItтАЩs these lies that explain in large part TrumpтАЩs victory. DemocratтАЩs big error was not devising a way to get out in front of the lies and developing a potent machine to get out the truth.
What people in Chicago and New York saw with their own eyes, not on Fox, were the legal asylum seekers bussed by the TX governor and dumped on their downtowns. I saw it in Chicago myself. I'd never seen anything like it. I understood why it was happening - we have a global migration crisis - but it was still shocking to see a camp of poor, brown men in a parking lot. I wasn't frightened - I'm not a fearful person. But I understand how others who are fearful would see it. And Trump knows how to stoke that fear.
Fox is the gateway drug. I read somewhere that it was Victor Orban who counseled MAGA (probably via Tucker Carlson) to create their own media, and they followed his advice.
The same Orban who effectively outlawed George Soros in his home country. Isn't that a "bill of attainder" of the type our Constitution protects us from--at least so far....
You mean Trump outlawing a famous, wealthy liberal will be a violation of the Constitution which prohibits bills of attainder, meaning punishment without due process.

Agree with all you've said, Mary.
Well, like I said, ppl are responsible for themselves. Watching Fox is a choice.

...or Newsmax or OANN or any of the thousand YouTube channels dedicated to bringing the US down.

Bill of attainder?
Im the bill of rights--google it.

Yes, and anyone else too... It's about due process.
