It’s small comfort, but a large portion of that 40% just vote straight R all the way down the ballot without the slightest bit of knowledge of who they are voting for.
Honestly, this is so, so important. They’re as unreachable as MAGAts and it’s time to stop pretending otherwise. Moderate policies watering down every single plan, “reaching out” to the other side with centrist compromises that will excite and energize exactly no one… I guarantee you, there’s many rural, low-educated voters that will never in their lives put a ‘D’ on their ballot no matter what. We need to actually show what we can do for workers in this country with big, bold legislation that will tangibly improve people’s lives.
I am guessing most of that large portion were still aware of the “black Nazi” shit and it wasn’t enough to make them think maybe they shouldn’t vote straight R.

That’s no comfort at all…

I don’t think many R voters in NC have any contact with news outside of the
foxbreitbartoannwhatever conservative talking head is popular now.On the other hand I agree that if they heard about it it wouldn’t have changed their vote, though.
That is where the fostering of the idea that the media is unreliable comes in. Even if they heard this, they didn’t believe it to be true.
