I was taught in grammar school by nuns that you had to have knowledge of all the facts on a contested issue, both supporting and opposing, before you were entitled to have an opinion that was worth serious consideration.
You are correct. If voters had to have actual knowledge of the facts, no Republican would ever get elected. This explains how tRump got elected in 2016, and may get re-elected:
1. A majority of Americans cannot name a single branch of government or explain what the Bill of Rights is;
2. 24% can't name the country that the U.S. fought in the Revolutionary War;
3. 2/3 don't know what the holding of Roe v. Wade is;
4. 2/3 don't know what the Food and Drug Administration does;
5. 50% don't know each state has two senators;
6. More than 50% can't name their congressman;
7. The average voter thinks 24% of the U.S. budget goes to foreign aid (less than 1% does);
8. 18% thinks the sun revolves around the earth;
9. 50% don't know that Judaism predates Christianity
I always vote against my best financial interests as do most of the people that vote for tRump, the difference being at least I know I'm doing it.
tRump has always counted on this throughout his life to pull off all his cons:
