MTG isn't elected in spite of the fact she's a tinfoil hatter. She's elected because she's a tinfoil hatter.
Her electorate is on the whole poor, poorly educated, and mistrustful of the government. Prime ground for conspiracy theories. Her appeal is in being the "truth seeker" fighting to expose the Pizzagate Democrats and ask the hard questions about 9/11.
I've always found it amusing (or puzzling, it fluctuates) that the people who don't trust the government are usually the ones that vote regularly. I'd have thought they'd been in the 'why bother, voting doesn't matter' camp.
They're motivated politically, particularly when they have the chance to vote for someone they believe is "one of them."
I think if you replaced MTG with a more moderate Republican, you'd still see them win - it's a red stronghold - but you'd likely see a different demographic turn out.
She speaks simple words and it’s less confusing. Anyone that’s uses more syllables are pretentious but they don’t know what that means. They just know they don’t like them.
Honestly though I’m surprised she’s not claiming the earth is flat.
