Many voters are willing to accept misinformation from political leaders – even when they know it’s factually inaccurate. According to our research, voters often recognize when their parties’ claims are not based on objective evidence. Yet they still respond positively, if they believe these inaccurate statements evoke a deeper, more important “truth.”
Not everyone has the same flaws to the same extent. It’s probably more of a spectrum than a yes or no thing. I’d say it’s a safe bet to say we all suffer from this - some more than others.
