Like Test_Tickles said, they’ve had 10 years for outside information to trickle in, and there is no way they haven’t been even tangently exposed to outside information. I absolutely do not consume any rightwing or for that matter any 24hr news networks but bits of both sides still filter in.
That’s sort of what I’m alluding to. It seems to me that these people are in essentially the reality version of a casino with a painted sky. It looks and feels like outside, it’s just completely controlled by the people that own the casino and crafted entirely to keep the illusion up. They watch Fox, their friends might read Washington Post, their friend’s friends watch whatever else. More and more media is being bought by Billionaires that have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.
It feels like you’re getting differing opinions because this guy reads this which is SLIGHTLY more moderate than that but overall it’s so far more right from what things were like even 10 years ago that it doesn’t really matter.
You mean the Rambo/Dirty Harry worshiping generation? The generation of gun welding loaners who could take on the world all by themselves? The ones that pulled themselves up by their boot straps without help from anyone?
Because I have no clue who you are talking about.
You forget that the media they consume is hiding all of the bad stuff from them, or spinning it so it sounds positive.

And people just don’t notice.
It makes sense when you realize they were raised in a multi-generational cult where critical thinking and questioning authority is actively punished.
