.... no amount of exposure to facts or negative life experiences can change the way they view the world... The rest are usually just uninformed, or have never been exposed to contrary data to their belief....
These two conditions or state of the human mind have always baffled me - regarding their view of their reality.
One has to totally reject and ignore the facts of man's history on Earth. So.... they believe that 6 million Jews didn't die during the rule by Hitler, and 282,000 US and allied solders did not die during the Vietnam War? Both in the name of Marxism, Socialism, and Communism ruled by brutal dictators.
The second condition... is more plausible, still extremely perplexing for me ... the uniformed and exposure to contrary data.
Even after my research and reading from the people who study this phenomena, it still baffles me.
For those who may be interested, here's a very interesting look at the impact of the media. It is a long read and the bibliography is more than impressive:
