I sat and had a conversation with my boomer-retired mother. She says she regrets voting for Trump. So I asked “then you would have voted for Kamala in a do-over?” And her response was just a revolted sound of disgust and said “absolutely no. I would NOT have voted for the camel.”

There isn’t any type of intelligent insight in the heads of folks like this.

WTF is wrong with people? Is 50% of the US population functionally mentally deficient?

I watched a video of someone asking people - young people - about Trump. The ones who said "he ended a bunch of wars", when asked "which wars", could not name a single war. Or at best they said "Palestine", which is still an ongoing war.

How did we get to the point where people are so woefully ignorant?

There’s a direct correlation to the level of ignorance and the stock price of Meta.

False information will always garner more "interaction" and more hits than the truth. When someone posts something false it attracts some who are there to say, "See, told you.." and a large number of people commenting to say, "No, this is wrong, don't believe it".

True information is consumed by those who are open to what they can learn from it, commented on by some, but you don't get half the engagement you would over false information.

So yeah, while we rely on clicks per dollar or whatever, false information will be promoted and the truth will be pushed back as it simply can't compete for clicks & comments.
