The biggest thing to me is: Why do people not know they’re ignorant? Why do they think that they’re well-informed on these issues? I can get being ignorant, but I can’t get thinking that they know things.

Is it as a simple as “They believe the partisan blowhards”? Is that really all there is to it? Or is it more that they hear two different stories, and they choose to believe the one that they want to believe?

I can’t really make sense of it. To me, being an adult is trying to figure out what’s true, not what I want to be true.
