I have encountered many people who cannot understand how otherwise intelligent and common-sense people love conservative propaganda and hate-speech, and seem all too willing to accept complete falsehoods as truth, despite themselves, their upbringing and their circumstances.
Perspective - have you ever known someone with a life-threatening cholesterol or weight problem who just cannot stop themselves from eating horrible food? Have you ever known a smoker fully aware of the dangers they're exposing themselves and those around them to? Not to mention drug addiction, alcohol abuse, reckless/inattentive driving and the like.
Well, why wouldn't there be perfectly intelligent people who really do crave information but decide instead to feed their minds junk food?
