NO!!!

The GOP base, especially in rural areas, often gets its news ONLY from the rightwing press.

The rightwing media is NOT telling conservatives what's going on.

The GOP base is brainwashed because the rightwing press lies to them.[/quote]

Ignorance (by choice) is no excuse.

It’s really hard to imagine how deep the lie bubble is unless you’ve lived in a red area.

Here in the DC area you get exposed to all sorts of news.  It’s very hard to completely avoid truthful media.  Here, if you’re a Republican you’re a gullible fool.

But in red areas, many good people believe what Fox says.  It’s very hard to relate unless you have lived there or have family who are brainwashed by Fox.[/quote]

It's amazing how gullible you are. You live in the ultimate bubble but, like the fish unaware what water is, you don't even notice.

97% people in DC voted Dem, everyone listens to the same news and holds the same political views.

In most of the country there's much more diversity and exposure to different views and news.[/quote]

Exactly.  DC is the quintessential liberal bubble.  It makes me laugh when people like the PP talk about others being brainwashed.  Liberals in DC, NYC, etc. are their own special kind of cult.[/quote]

"Cult" is indeed the perfect word.
