65. They are going to vote Republican because the Media has told them

The repeated storyline is that Democrats are hypocritical Liberal Elitists who live in a San Fransisco or New York fantasy land and are out of touch with Real Americans.

Democrats are apparently all about taking enough money from hard working people to force them to struggle just to give it to those people who don't work hard.
And they will shut anyone up that disagrees with them.

Needless to say, the projected propaganda from the moneyed folks supporting the Republicans is damn near blinding.
