    A third do.

    Another third ignores it because their favorite tv show is on, and hey, they’re white and nothing’s happened to them yet, so obviously everything is fine and those protesters are just overreacting.

    And the final third looks at it and thinks ‘That’s my dictator! Attaboy!’

      You’re leaving out a serious chunk of ignorant Americans. Most of us are illiterate, can’t follow along with a novel kinda illiterate.

      My wife has only been here a couple of years. Before she met me and started looking at the news she thought Trump was a fine man.

      Stop the “man on the street” and ask him what he knows about what we talk about around here, daily news, he won’t have a clue.

      And finally, Fox News is the most popular media in the United States. And I don’t wish to hear any hate for Fox from people who don’t actually watch it. They’re far more subtle than we give them credit for. They hardly ever lie!
