I notice this when talking to my conservative in-laws. They hate things like corporate greed, the destruction of the environment, the lack of investment in American schools, and the coming insolvency of Social Security.
The problem is that their news sources tell them that the Democrats are the ones making these things worse, and the Republicans are the only ones who are trying to fix them. Their media diet is simply not reality-based.

Disagree. The problem is they aren’t doing the smallest amount of critical thinking it takes to consider that maybe the party all about unfettered capitalism, deregulation, religion, and cutting taxes might be lying to them about that.
