Whenever I mention that Trump has a floor of a 40% approval rating, there are always people who show up to explain that half of these people are simply misinformed.
I understand that but it’s a choice. It’s a choice to get your information from Fox News where the Melania movie is a huge hit when in reality it’s a massive flop.
Stop making excuses for people who have chosen the path of willful ignorance to give themselves plausible deniability.
@carnage4life I'm now using the term "strategic ignorance" to describe these individuals.
Willful ignorance is being confronted with information that challenges one's worldview and refusing to acknowledge its validity.
Strategic ignorance is ensuring that you never encounter information that would confront one's worldview.
@KimCrayton1 @carnage4life Exhibit A: House Speaker Mike Johnson
“I haven’t seen that”
“I really don’t know enough about that to comment on it”
“that’s not what I heard”
From the article, so others don't have to visit Fox:
The strong box office showing was thanks mainly to Americans over 55 years old, who made up 78% of ticket buyers, and especially women over 55 who were 72%, according to The Reporter.
Theaters in rural areas also brought in an outsize 46% of the weekend draw, which is unusually high for an opening. Florida, Texas and Arizona were the top ticket-selling states.
The film has received mixed reviews, with some critics slamming it as propaganda for the Trump administration.
I can't imagine seeing this even if I was a Trumper. It looks boring and empty. And yet they are citing successful numbers in red states. Organized church groups trying to make a statement?
