I bet every one of those deplorables has a cell phone (and YES. I think they've very much indeed earned that name - BECAUSE they willfully ignore reality and truth. I bet every one of them has a computer. And a TV. And a radio. Which they deliberately tune to shitshows like Pox Noise and limbaugh-and-clones on hate radio. There ARE other choices. I bet they're much more likely to watch Alex Jones than Rachel Maddow. Nobody is holding a gun to their heads and forcing them to consume that shit, much less forcing them to believe any of it.
They willfully ignore what this country was and is meant to be about. I'm surprised they haven't headed out to where the Statue of Liberty is positioned - with pick axes and chisels and crowbars, to pry off the plaque from her pedestal. The one that reads "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..." Yeah. THAT one.
