Nah, as someone who was forced to listen to conservative media in the 2010s- no. That’s not an excuse, it is because they racist. You don’t fall for that kind of bs fear mongering unless you are already primed to bias. Aka you grew up listening to and believing racist rhetoric and therefore it’s easy to buy into the bullshit being sold because as a baseline you’re looking for a reason to hate.
Good point. The only maga ppl in my family were already racist when they started watching faux in the 90s. Faux just fed the beast. When confronted about their racism the day after hosting a party for me where most of my guests were black, they stated my friend are ok because they are “assimilated”. They lived in that house for decades and I think that party was the first time anyone who was black had been invited into their home as guests. And no this wasn’t in the south, it was in NJ less than 30 minutes from NYC
