Their media keeps them insulated, at least the ones who follow any media. Many I talked to don't follow politics at all. They just wanted to shake things up because, get this, they were tired of the corruption in Washington.

I have been breaking the news to them posing as a disgruntled Trump supporter. When you do it that way they agree and get mad at him and the Republicans. I make sure to add that Rush, Hannity, Savage, Jones, and Fox lied to us to feather their nest! These Trump supporters will believe conspiracies! The funny thing is I am manipulating them with the truth!

I tried lashing out at them and all it got me was a "We won MF!" This way works much better. I say we engage Trump/Republican supporters this way and take away their base!!!
