No, its deeper than that - these people derive their self-worth from believing as they believe. Their teachers made it clear to them that if you are a good person if you vote Democrat, and a bad person if you don't. They were never taught how to pay attention to the issues or how to think for themselves - they have an ingrained, Pavlovian response to politics - because the Democrats have been marketed to them since they were children. Unicorns and skittles have been associated with the Democrats and the Nazis and Hilter are the embodiment of the political right. They don't think about it any more than they think about buying Coke vs. Pepsi, making that decision on who's ads make them feel best about themselves.
How to pursue and acquire knowledge is not being taught through the use of
critical thinking but taught as social interaction. Knowledge is marketed as one
would market jeans which as much as we disparage group think that's what
marketing depends on and that's the way at least two generations have been
taught to analyze their world. Critical analysis and logic befuddles them, they
perceive it as conjuring. They are genuine bread and raised sheeple and we are
demons practicing black arts.
