I've literally had people tell me (unprompted) how much they like what the US is doing. When I bother to probe it becomes apparent they're severely underinformed and what they like is the idea, but not reality. Irony points to the one who said they've always wanted to visit but not right now 🫠
Almost everybody I know is ill informed. I honestly believe most people aren't interested as life is stressful, they're busy etc etc. The far right exploits this
I was one of those people. Until I was 50, I actively avoided politics and political news. That changed pre-ref and oh boy was I uninformed. Still learning…
Same. I have a friend who's reasonably informed, intelligent but doesn't want to know the grotesque details & I don't blame her. She uses her vote & would never be swayed by populism.
It doesn't take much, and to some extent I blame journalists. I understand we are in a clickbait world, but it's negligent when they do huge articles about Farage and fail to mention he's following the MAGA playbook and how that's going. But that guy was informed enough not to want to go tour, so🤷🏻♀️
