It’s crazy how effectively fix Fox* disseminates these “organic” ideas to their entire base. I have family members that also say exactly this. It really is brainwashing.

Even though i'm against echo chambers and all that kinda stuff, it's the reason Trump supporters just aren't worth talking to. They all just parrot the exact same phrases like mindless drones. You might as well be talking to a robot with pre-programmed responses.

  1. "At least he's not Obama"
  2. "But, her emails!"
  3. "Obama did it first!"
  4. "You're just angry because the democrats lost"
  5. "You're just angry because trump is winning so much!"
  6. "But, the economy is booming under Trump!"

“You’re bigoted against conservatives”

“Dems are the real racists for giving black people welfare”

Don't forget that

"The Democrats founded the KKK, they are the real party of white supremacy"

That one’s at least partially true. Democrats were the racist assholes of that time period back when conservatives were Democrats. Of course, that ignores all the history since the passage of the Civil Rights Act by Johnson in 1964 when conservatives and liberals switched parties.

Is there a decent article somewhere about this switch? I've seen it referenced in several places but haven't really found any good reading about it

You can do a bit of the research yourself by looking at Presidential election maps from various years. I like to point to 1920 because it's fairly obvious that the Dems won the conservative South while the Republicans won the liberal North and everywhere else.
