    I am guessing most of that large portion were still aware of the “black Nazi” shit and it wasn’t enough to make them think maybe they shouldn’t vote straight R.

      I don’t think many R voters in NC have any contact with news outside of the fox breitbart oann whatever conservative talking head is popular now.

      On the other hand I agree that if they heard about it it wouldn’t have changed their vote, though.
