But it's worse than that. They just turn on the "news" and implicitly trust everything that comes out of the pundit's mouth. There is a severe lack of critical thinking skills, and even memory of what happened and what was said merely a few months ago. This, we can blame on a number of things.. parenting, miss poor schooling, the distraction of tv and social media, even genetics...
But I think my point still stands. They are MISINFORMED, largely due to bad actors in our government and the elites who buy them out. Sadly isn't so much a choice, but decades of social engineering.
