Their news sources come from Sinclair. They are exposed to Fox and similar bullshit. Political ads are paid by Koch foundations.

What they "know" is that they are being screwed by immigrants, tax and spend liberals and blacks who are living on the second plantation that they are paying for. The second plantation doesn't require the residents to work. "Second Plantation" was 'splained by a Congressional candidate (guess which party) two days ago.

How can they learn the ways they are being screwed?
