These headlines/news don't reach republicans. We live in two complete different Internets.
The majority of republicans are the bottom of the barrel when it comes to impressionable peasants. The kind of idiots who believe any fucking bullshit and like to behave like tribal morons who are against either all the black people, or gay people, or both. Onion Town level of human being. Like, I once saw this documentary about one of the most racist towns in America, they were all so fucking ugly, inside this bar, and they interviewed this woman in her 50s, with a lot of missing teeth, crying because she thought they were all going to be killed and replaced with black people someday if they didn't fight. That kind of shit.
At some point smartphones were gping to become cheaper and/or reach those people. I thought about this when I was 12 and got my first iPod. I am a mexican living in a pretty poor state, and I could see how the Internet would slowly turn into shit the more we introduced it to these kind of people. The people who fall for our corrupt politicians' propaganda so easily, 0 critical thinking, poverty, stupid, all that. It really sucks, because everyone deserves to be here, but at the same time they don't for being dangerously stupid, it's a dumb game we have to play somehow. They also breed the most.
There are large groups of people who are far too stupid to be allowed to vote. But I can't think of any way to correct this that wouldn't be abused by the right anyway... So it's a lose-lose situation.
