Honestly im never sure, especially with the internet, how many of those are sincere individuals and how much might be intentional trolls looking to muck things up. I personally do not know people who do not vote democrat because of they all the same fud or such.
I saw people at an anti-Trump protest who were getting up and yelling about how it was largely the Democrats' fault and it was important not to reward them with our votes. That's the only person I've ever seen in person who thinks this way, yes, but I have seen it a nonzero number of times.
It's almost all an internet thing, just in general. Every single political person I know in person is more or less either pro-Democrat or pro-Trump, or else wholly anti-US in all respects, the sophisticated leftist viewpoint is almost entirely an internet thing for me.
