7. We have different personality types and probably education levels

There are two things that make one more likely to believe rightwing propaganda:

- Low education levels (note that the BIGGEST predictor of trump vote is low education level)
- "Authoritarian" personality type: https://www.theauthoritarians.org/


But it takes those things PLUS rightwing propaganda media to create Trump voters. We can stop rightwing propaganda. We can't change peoples' personility types.

The right knows propaganda works too - that's why Reagan repealed the Fairness Doctrine, and that's why Murdoch leaves money on the table at Fox.
