    The right wing spent the last 70 years building a machine. They have think tanks of ivy league educated minds to shape their policy, armies of PR men to craft the talking points and a thousand talking heads across all media to preach it.

    It’s very deliberate propaganda designed to manipulate people using base emotions like anger and fear. I agree the base isn’t particularly smart but the messaging is specifically designed to invoke an emotional reaction so they can’t think critically.
