Sometimes a vote is nothing more than a big eff you.
I have no doubt. In fact, my guess is that's most of what motivates Trump voters.
Many voters were - to use the word dehumanized by being told that they were racist, misogynistic et al when there was no data to to suggest that. They worked hard, bought a house, married, reared children all to find out they are and have always been the reason of societies ills.
I don't understand why anyone would be offended by something they don't think is true about themselves, or why that would make them angry enough to take it out on their own country.
I get grouped in with certain demographics regularly, and it doesn't bother me because I know what's true about me better than anyone else.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

Demographics have nothing to do with being labeled a racist or a misogynist. Perhaps that's one of the reasons that you always seem to be so confused in your posts?

My mother has college education. My father has a PhD. His wife has a Bachelor's degree. So, no thanks.
That is 1.3 million voters.
Out of how many scores of millions of Americans? Reason to hope, to be sure!
Now, what about the other 70 plus million voters?
What about them?
And, what is the high and low criteria for democrats?
I don't know honestly. The educated and uneducated vote in both parties. But certain communities find one party more attractive than the other.

The definition of low information voter is one that consumes FOX news AND is not a college graduate and many other criteria. You are saying that some folks do not meet both those criteria. Therefore, the number of low information voters is less than the viewership of FOX news. Okay. I will rephrase the question.
Based on the criteria of a "low information voter" there are fewer than 1.3 million of these voters, are the other 70 plus million GOP voters high information voters?
I agree, the level of information voters consume varies within all parties. Can the democrat voter be stereotyuped like the GOP voter? Does anyone have that information that would support the crappy assertions or claims to be known about GOP low information voters?

Oh that has been going on since Limbaugh. I see it on FOX even today. The epithets Dumbocrats and libtards come to mind. I am not sure what your point is.

A speaker at the convention: "One featured speaker was North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, the state’s Republican nominee for governor, who declared just last week that “some folks need killing.” “It’s time for somebody to say it,” Robinson remarked in an appearance at a local church. “It’s not a matter of vengeance. It’s not a matter of being mean or spiteful. It’s a matter of necessity.”

Nope. ‘And is not a college graduate’ is the straw man you constructed to serve your own purposes. Like that one guy said, “argue better”. : )
As Schmo points out upstream, a low information voter might simply be one deciding to insulate themself from easily obtained facts. As example: consider someone claiming that Biden is waging a war on oil and that this imagined war has affected the inflation of fuel pricing. Truth is, we are currently producing more crude oil in the US than at any time in our history. ‘Any time in our history’ also includes the Trump years.
If that person is given this information and a link to it and more, but continues to make the same claim while presenting no facts (alternative or otherwise) in support of the claim, then that person could be considered a low information voter, whether they’re college-educated or not.

There you go, folks, Republican leaders of today and tomorrow. The rhetoric of political violence has been normalized in the Republican Party, and we should all be deeply worried about what this portends for the near future.
