There has to be an appetite for and/or an ignorant hole to fill for lies to work.

Do you consider trumpsters who soaked up lies to be quality voters?

How about those who ignored truth and instead soaked up nasty lies about Democrats stealing primary elections and about Hillary murdering people to protect her evil secrets? The ones who prate about peace and healthcare for all but gave this nation over to the right? Do you consider them quality voters?

No excuses. If democracy dies, it will be taken down by voters who chose lies over truths.
