Republican voters see impending Democratic election wave as "Fake News"

Republicans Are Refusing To Vote Because They Believe The Blue Wave Is ‘Fake News’



Internal polling from GOP strategists is revealing a massive problem for their party. Republicans are not interested in voting, because they believe the blue wave is ‘fake news.’

The New York Times reported:
America First Action, a political committee aligned with Mr. Trump, conducted a series of focus groups over the summer and concluded the party had a severe voter-turnout problem, brought on in part by contentment about the economy and a refusal by Republicans to believe that Democrats could actually win the midterm elections.

Trump has been telling his cult of followers that the blue wave is fake news and that a red wave is coming to save them in November. - PoliticusUSA

5. Won't that be great if true on November 6?

How many will be that stupid or sanguine by then, though? Anxiety and aggression are permanent rings in their noses.

Hope, hope. Left wingers who didn't vote cost us everything in 2016. It could do the same for them.
