Does this make sense to anyone else, or just ME? [View all]

Me trying to explain the Republican base in a comment on another decidedly leftist website.


The Republican base is mainly composed of very low information voters, which would be bad enough if they were not also constantly being given misinformation about who they should hate, be afraid of, and on and on, by the right-wing echo chamber.

And while they are blaming everyone else for their problems, the rich laugh their asses off and become richer while the commoners fight over the scraps.
