Information Bias

 Heard a wizened old fella on Stephanie Ruhle last night suggest that many maga might not know the breadth of all that Trump & Musk are doing. Talk about living in a bubble, these people are NOT hearing what we are hearing these days. They haven't for years, really. All they know is that their two *wildly successful* presidents are 'draining the swamp and saving money'- for them, because that's what they heard on Fox, Newsmax, Ben Shapiro, Joe Rogan or all of the above. People always say, "republicans are so good at messaging" and I guess they are. They are also good at winning elections, but terrible at governing. Also, true.

It's hard for some of us to fathom how clueless these maga are, how they can't see what is going on around them and will eventually happen to them. It's hard not to think they are stupid.

They might be that, but maybe tragically misinformed is a better way of saying it? A lot of them might be nice people, they just don't know any better. I mean that. It's kinda like religion. If you hear one version, one slant on everything, that is what you will go with all throughout life. What you've been told is right, and everything else is wrong. Hearing something different actually confirms that for a lot of folks. You hear the same thing over and over and, you get the picture. Someone tells you different or challenges your beliefs, well the ignorant heretics would do that, wouldn't they? Your leader told you they would.

They don't know what's going on because whatever Trump is doing is because he loves America and he's a successful businessman. Other people try to tell them different, but they are wrong because they didn't do their own research on the aforementioned sites. That's really what separates us- information. I could be wrong, but I did my own research.
