    Dem voters only know what they are told to know by the boob tube and right now they know 'china=bad' trump=no more vote History is meaningless to them, everything happening is divorced from previous events.

    They know also, because they have been told that by agreeing with the tv they are smart, that disagreeing is only for people who don't have all the info, or are dumb/racist. They don't want to be dumb/racist so they agree and defend the TVs lies as their own, as they have been convinced by this trick that their very intelligence is on the line.

    It's pretty sad, cuz i don't know how to move one from this headspace. I think maybe those types need to come to some kind of revelation on their own before they can be radicalized. I wish i could do it, because (i think) if those types ever did realize they had been played for fools their absolute fury at this would help communism grow.
