They are stuck in ideology and emotional reactions. There is a concentrated effort to keep it that way with propaganda masquerading as news, usually owned by Murdoch.
Other people are as well but manage to stop and think about it. I'm not sure if you're giving them too much credit.
I have the impression it's more like people susceptible to gambling addiction and they're opening a casino next door.
Yet they think others should take responsibility for their own actions.
Don't get me wrong, I'm with you to a certain degree. They have been deceived and those people need to be stopped. But some of the shame should be granted to the deceived as well, as they fall over and over for the same shit.
