    A bit of due diligence may have been helpful in their decision making. Nothing of substance about Trump was not known before the election.

      I don’t want to excuse their decision, but want to point out some context. Right-wing media is really effective at throwing out a ton of bullshit to obfuscate reality. The right-wing bubble throws out shit like Democrats having underground pedophile rings being run in DC pizza restaurants. Meanwhile Trump was found to have committed rape by a court.

      Many conservative voters either:

      • Don’t hear about the second one
      • Or hear about both and decide that all news is mostly made up trash like the National Inquirer
