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.

“I haven’t seen that”
“I really don’t know enough about that to comment on it”
“that’s not what I heard”
