(39,215 posts)may actually question some of what you are hearing. But that guy on the radio in your car is saying the same thing. And that magazine you ordered is to. Everywhere you go all you hear is faux news.
Then you go to a church that is basically saying the same thing. You are dedicated to that church and have been long before this mess started. You KNOW they would not lie to you, right? And they send you a magazine every month reinforcing what they say. And everyone in that church - friends of yours - say it also. You trust them.
All of the above sources do not trust the government or the schools or science. In fact most of us on the rw and the left do not exactly trust the government! (Just read DU). And schools teach our kids things we do not want to know - history, science and evolution, birth control, climate change. All these things scare us and the media and our church tell us they are wrong or they are lies. Schools cannot be trusted either!!! And science - they do not understand it and they do not agree even if they do.
And so the individual becomes isolated. They watch only faux news, have a church that "tells them the truth" and is the only church telling them the truth, and they put their children in a parochial/private school that teaches what they want their kids to know and totally isolate themselves from any other sources of education.
Now they are in a complete bubble. They do not care what anyone else thinks - they do not care about stepping outside of the group and they vote like they are told. Even if it is against themselves.
Brainwashed.
