Yes, it is horrifying, but only to those who are paying attention to what's going on. The rest? Border crisis? Was that on the PBS News Hour? Rush Limbaugh used to call them the "low-information" voters:
"The Democrats have made the low-information voters think they care about 'em. And the worst thing you can do is invest in the Democrat Party, the worst thing, in terms of life potential."
Also from Rush:
"If you want to make a Conservative angry, tell him a lie. If you want to make a Liberal angry, tell him the truth."
