I'm pretty sure Faux listeners are the intellectual descendants of those who followed stories like "I Cut Out Her Heart and Stomped on It" (September 8, 1963) and "Mom Boiled Her Baby and Ate Her" (1962) in the National Enquirer. They're also clearly related to the red scare people and snake handlers.
That's a considerable constituency around here. I try to console myself that a lot of them don't or can't vote, but still it's hard to witness and live through. I think I just stay around here to see if they will one day all die en mass from a terminal case of stupid. They don't know I'm here.
Out here in NoCal you have to go to the hills to find a considerable Faux News constituency. After all Solar & Co are in NoCal. So there is that. No state seems to be short on idiots.
OK, there's the source comment. Not out of context, not edited, not changed in any way. There is no implication in any way that the comment relates to electoral majorities or elections at all for that matter. The subject is "Faux News constituency" and where if at all in NoCal they can be found. Nothing whatsoever about elections or voting majorities. Noting about per capita, nothing about population or proportion to population or percentage of county vote. The statement said what it said. Clearly and without equivocation.
I didn't say Alameda County had 150,000 Trump votes. I said, " 136,309 Trump voters in 2020, plus about 18K =/- for off center people you never heard of." Later I included the 18K as probably or possible Faux News skulkers, but without false implication. But the facts ("true facts" if you like redundancy) are that strictly within the context of the original unedited statement, above, there is a larger Faux News constituency in Alameda County - hills or not - than there is in Sullivan County. And a still bigger constituency in San Diego County.
If you really want to discuss electoral majorities and percentage of a given population who are trumpists, then post about that. And if you say that trumpists are a higher percent of the population in Sullivan County than Alameda, nobody will argue. If you say that there are more trumpists per capita in Sullivan County than Alameda, then nobody will argue. If you say that trumpist have greater political power in Sullivan County than in Alameda, nobody will argue. But if you stick to your original comment, above, then numbers are numbers and there are more trumpists in Alameda County than in Sullivan.
