    Or a product of the current news setting. You’re basically saying that all R voters are complete idiots when they make up a large portion of the country (not the majority of course). This line of statements encourages R voters to entrench themselves, while not looking great to those on the fence.

    I have friends who I respect that I’d classify as either R or on the fence. Where they get their news (Youtube, TikTok, Fox) is very attractive to their views but also incorrect at times. These sources are, for all intensive purposes, their eyes and ears of the political world. How can they not trust their eyes and ears?

    Some people start to come around because lies start to break apart after a while. Some that are mad that the Covid hoax, which isn’t real, but is also going away in spring of 2020, and can’t really hurt people, still killed their family members. They see glimpses of Trump being an idiot, and dangerous and start to question what they’re being told and weather Biden is such a bad option in comparison. Making it easier for people to change their minds, and not insulting them and their friends, makes it easier to get people to vote blue or not vote red.
