And this is actually the deeper point to my commentary. People, all people, behave this way. They have their priors and seek evidence supporting said priors and work to discredit evidence that contradicts their belief.
And this phenomena is just as pervasive on the left as the right. The WSB phenomena is a perfect example because it crosses ideological boundaries and doesn’t fit within the current political polarization. It’s not right vs. left; it’s elite vs. the masses.
