I run into MAGA / QAnon loons online and they suffer the opposite issue. They have plenty of information to choose from and they'll choose the worst and use cognitive dissonance to blank the rest. The number of times they'll dismiss stuff by proclaiming it comes "from the Soros media" or whatever. One basket case even replied to a news story the other day that Ukraine was a "movie set" to discount the news of missile strikes. How can you reach people like that?

I suspect for all people during the American civil war their only source of news was their local newspapers and fliers. Hardly surprising if they were unable to develop enlightened views that GP seems to judge them for not having.

And yet the North held them to those views when they killed them. Maybe the North should have tried asking politely.
