It's really incredible. Your perception of the world entirely changes where you receive your information. We are at that point now. People in the U.S live in entirely different realities based on where they live, who they listen to, and even their basic education level (ability to appraise information).

Agreed, with exception to the education level factor. There are many highly educated and highly intelligent leftists out there. Their seeming lack of ability to appraise information is instead a willful abandonment of critical thinking in compliance with their ideological views.

Exactly. A Liberal friend recently mentioned the importance of getting information from multiple sources. Of course her sources are New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, etc.

They are running on their emotional brain. Facts pull them away from how they feel about trump so they ignore them. They look for facts that reinforce their established emotions.

it entirely depends on who they listen to. The rest is irrelevant. Theirs smart and dumb on both sides, there's based people in every state. Yes, you can makes good guesses based on where they live though.
