(10,705 posts)A lot of people don't ever turn their TVs off of Fox News. Because of that, they have a false impression of the state of the country and what Trump has done as President. Many of them would be surprised to learn he has essentially done nothing in 4 years except sign a tax break for the rich and try to kill health care. Fox News spends a lot of time making up Trump accomplishments and hiding bad things. This debate is a rare opportunity that Fox News viewers will be seeing and hearing the same thing we are at the same time, and it could be eye opening for some. In that sense, it could be more of an opportunity for us to pick up some incremental support better than for them to. I'm not saying we will convert magats, they are too dug in to their cult to admit they are wrong. But there are some people who watch nothing but Fox News that are just ignorant and stupid about what's going on in the country because they think the propaganda they are getting is real news. They may be very surprised to hear for the first time that their social security is under attack.
