More than two-thirds of Republicans feel the news media poses a bigger threat to the United States than white supremacists, according to a new poll.
The results of a Fox News survey released Wednesday:
69 percent of Republicans think the media is a larger threat than white supremacists, compared to 18 percent who said the opposite.
76 percent of Democrats think white supremacists pose a greater threat.
45 percent of men think the media poses a greater threat, while 43 percent said the opposite.
You know when I first read this my first thought was "Damn those Fox News viewers are ignorant!"
But then I thought about it and realized this is not ignorance, it is tribalism.
These Republicans do not fear white supremacists because those are THEIR people.
"White Supremacists aren't so bad, I have Thanksgiving with a whole bunch of them every year."
People keep saying that I am supposed to stop vilifying these people and simply try to see things from their point of view.
Yeah, that's not happening.
