      It makes sense if you’re trying to explain why a MAGA would immediately believe something without evidence.

        Yeah I think in the most charitable reading of Melvin’s comments he’s saying that cons are more broadly “aware” of issues in general because fox and the like broadcast a wide net of garbage they should be angry about, even if virtually everything they say about the issues are lies.

        But the question is that if (eg) the name of some random congress critter is on the right’s radar that the left hasn’t really heard much about, and what they think they know is that she drinks baby blood in pizza basements fortnightly, what exactly do they “know” vs never having heard of her in the first place?
