Very much this, the GOP and its media are extremely good at creating fear, and have created the environment where facts no longer matter in a conversation. This is extremely good for convincing people that they have to show up at the polls or Hillary will start a nuclear war, or Bernie will turn america into a communist state within a month of getting into office.
Democrats suck at this, or at finding any alternative to motivate voter turnout.
