MEME Dow down another 1000 points. There’s too much winning, Mr. President. We cannot take it anymore.

Is media really their only source of info? Why aren’t they watching the actual debates and forming their own opinions?! Or just reading what each candidate is promising? The “news” down there just seems like opinion pieces and propaganda so why even watch it?

Because most people don't care enough to do that.

You mean the debates where Trump repeats the exact same insane right wing propaganda like how immigrants are eating cats and dogs?

It’s a brainwash cult, MAGA will never change. Can’t reason yourself out of something you didn’t reason yourself into. The head of the snake needs to be removed for MAGA to die off.

Exactly that or they drink the Kool aid and die. Too bad we all have to suffer alongside them.

Our elected officials aren't having debates because it could confuse message.

They find conservatism comforting in its simplicity. Trump is a populist demagogue with Russian backers/puppetmasters, experts at propaganda. 

If a conservative has some doubts, their favorite media sources will quickly feed them talking points so they don't have to switch mindsets, and are enabled to feel smart and normally superior instead. Now they can be "smarter" than those eggheaded libtards and look down on THEM for a change! 

Feels good I suppose, though I'll never understand why those who want to have the moral high ground don't actually pick the morally-superior side.
