"59% are in favor of extending Obamacare subsidies. Unfortunately, until the pollster explained it to them, 0.59% were aware that that's what the government shutdown is about. So the connection to how they're going to vote in the future is a little tenuous, Charles."
This is it, entirely. The majority of MAGA voters are living in an alternate reality created by the media they consume. They aren't operating from an informed perspective anymore. It's all manufactured outrage over hyperbolic strawman scenarios.
Literally just don’t call it Obamacare and they’re on board.
