And half of voters are voting for it.
I just listened to a "undecided voters deliberate" and I want to pull my fucking hair out.
(The only redeeming point is these weren't undecided as in they change their vote all the time, they were lifelong Republican voters who are now undecided. Still bad.)
But that's still huge. Theyve likely grown up surrounded by conservatives their whole lives. Conservative talk radio, then fox news, oreily factor every night, Sean hannity, glen beck, and now modern social media and YouTube has them getting pumped with ridiculous echo chamber bs.
The fact they are "undecided" is pretty fucking damning for Republicans and conservatives.
They are stepping back from an entire world view and even an "identity" they've had their whole life. That's huge.
It's fine to be frustrated by it but it's still a good thing.
Edit: the good thing is that they are now undecided. Not that half of voters are still voting for the orange turd.
