Here’s a comment describing exactly how the right wing ‘taking heads’ (i.e.; Hannity, Palin, Limbaugh, Bachmann, Trump and fox news) manipulate their base-
“Don’t make the mistake of underestimating them. What they have proven they are great at is of reading the mind and feelings of low-information American voters and knowing how to manipulate them. And by starting out convincing their base that the Dems are the enemy and are very different then themselves they built a firewall that has allowed them to insulate their base from facts and counter arguments which is why you never hear of a solid GOP voter changing their mind because of new information or facts or evidence and why they are so oblivious to how destructive to their own lives the people that they keep electing are.
anyone that can form an alliance that is able to get 30-40% of the voters to vote against their own interest and to be pretty firmly under their control to the point they can tell lie after lie after lie with NO repercussions……that is a group of people you should take seriously because of the threat they pose to our nation.”
