I can, you just have to know how to examine the data.
I can too, it’s the major population who isn’t as versed as you or I and gets the news from the alphabet agencies...and vote.
We here on FR are political junkies, we live in our own bubble so to speak.
The average Joe hasn’t the interest in or the awareness of information we have....ergo, “politics is perception”
Sad but true, most don’t share the passion for the country, historical education etc. as FReepers do.
