In reply to the discussion: Another positive sign in Maine [View all]Martin68
(22,800 posts)33. Absolutely. And Fox knows how to accuse Democrats of being anti-military, anti-family,
anti-American, etc, which hits deep with military folk. Rush Limbaugh had a very high profile on Armed forces Radio, and that made deep inroads with the military overseas. The news they receive about "back home" is heavily filtered through right wing propaganda sources. Fox preys on their anxiety about support of the military, and their anxiety about the erosion of American values. They don't suspect that Fox is the primary source of attacks on American morality and values. I think Trump turned that around somewhat with his direct attacks on the military and intelligence services.

What is good is that it was a state wide vote in a very red state and it shows the Roevember is real

I've noticed a lot less signs for Paul LePage here in Central Maine, this election cycle.
