I've known people like this all my life. When Walter Cronkite was the ruling god of American news and every household in America was a CBS or NBC or ABC news household, we all agreed MLK was a troublemaker and the Vietnam War was good because the government said so (and when Uncle Walter turned against it, we turned against Uncle Walter) and eventually that Ronald Reagan would save us from commies and welfare queens (black women in drop-top Cadillacs picking up their check in a car driven by their pimp, with 13+ squalling kids in the backseat). And we knew he would because he went to Philadelphia, Mississippi, just to tell us so.I have been asking MAGAs where they get their news. It’s basically an echo chamber pic.twitter.com/dI5tXTnSxO

The "echo chamber" can be, and has been, and still is (actually) large and nationwide. In the final analysis we the people are responsible for this small one becoming so seemingly prominent. "I cain't vote for Hillary and Trump cain't win and "they" ain't gimme nobody to vote for!, so I won't vote and we'll still be fine!" was the sentiment in 2016. We've been living with the fallout of that that ever since.
Which I really think is the reason so many prominent people on Twitter are screaming that Trump should have been buried under the jail yesterday for what we the people (not the DOJ) have discovered he did yesterday!
Guilty dog really does bark loudest. π
