Just think about all the stuff they believe and/or fall for:
Republicans fell for Facebook ads that Russia bought
Republicans believe coal will come back
Republicans deny climate change and then lose everything to multiple 100-year floods
Republicans vote for tax plans that leave them "left behind"
Republicans shun education and then cry when companies hire more qualified workers from Asia
Republicans fell for Trump's promise that Obamacare would be repealed on Trump's first day
Republicans support preachers and churches that have sold themselves to politicians
Republicans deny others basic human rights all while calling themselves God-fearing
Republicans claim to be pro-life but shrug and say who cares when a black teenager gets murdered by cops
Republicans get all riled up over the flag at NFL games even though the only reason the NFL allows the flag ceremony is because the ceremony is funded with our tax dollars
Republicans believe Trump is one of them (he laughs at them)
Republicans elected someone in Trump who doesn't believe in anything the party claims to stand for (deficit reduction, God, etc.)
Republicans believe Fox news hosts are looking out for them when really they're just exploiting anger for money
Republicans fell for weapons of mass destruction
Republicans fell for Trump who will go down as one of the worst presidents ever
Republicans claim to be conservative but have spent everyday this year defending Trump's non-conservative policies and behavior
Why are Republican voters so easily manipulated?
Nice post, thanks.
The answer is in your own list: #5.
Republicans tend to disdain education. Republicans in government tend to want to cut education funding, and Republican voters often speak disdainfully of educated people. And that's the way Republican elected officials want it. They want an ignorant, intellectually lazy electorate that can be easily swayed by emotion, without facts.
Both sides Repubs and Dems believe what re-enforces their view point, Facts are rarely a requirement for some. Is you point that Americans are easily led by the nose? Is this news to anyone.

High ego investment and low introspection in regards to any dogmatically held beliefs leave people of all stripes ripe for manipulation. Politics and religion have been exploiting this for millennia.
You and Trump have the same instincts. No wonder he keeps failing to get his agenda through. You say "I'm pretty sure the OP blah blah blah." Trump says "I'm pretty sure John McCain and the Republicans will vote my way." Fail and fail.
Point of the thread. Republicans are gullible. If you do not understand the word gullible get a dictionary.
