I think it’s more a question of what one sees rather than what one thinks. Most folks have their heads so far up their rumps that they can’t see more than 2cm in front of them. They can’t “see” the truth that is practically in front of their face since their existence is limited to their tiny bubble. Politics isn’t worth their time.
I learned in LE that the politicians purposely want to keep the truth from the public for their own gain.
