| shavenferret said: Interesting, so many of us are worried about Trump winning. While the MAGA crowd isn't motivated as much by fear, they still want what the candidate that best supports their views. Should this fear be a pain point to motivate independents and dems to go out and vote to a greater degree? This can't just be a bubble. I'm not saying that this forum is representative of the US or anything but rather that the concerns that Trump brings are more common than you'd think. |
The MAGA crowd is extremely motivated by fear.
Claiming that "illegal immigrants are going to take over the country, raping and pillaging the country."
Claiming that "Trans people are going to rape people in bathrooms."
Claiming that Democrats are pedophiles, baby killers, etc.

They have been embolden by Trump, Fox News and others.
Murdoch and others have likely spent billions spreading fear and misinformation over the past couple decades. Their policy and rhetoric is getting more extreme, not less.
