Part of the problem might be that most of us were not taught critical thinking, as in how to separate the facts from the bullshit. How to recognize a cogent argument and do research to determine what's true and what isn't and to keep an open mind with a willingness to change your opinion when you learn something new. You have to learn all the time and that takes time and effort that too many people don't what to spend on arriving at the truth. Instead they vote for and support the party or person they've always voted for or supported int he past and turned on the TV.
