1) Take climate change. The only reason the RW in this country believe it is a myth is because republicans in office told them it is. That's it.
The rightwing doesn't stop to wonder "hmm, maybe the reason my elected officials deny climate change is to protect the profits of the oil industry."
They just believe them.
Never mind the fact that the acceptance of the truth around the issue is embraced my scientists and governments around the world. Republicans and the industries that have profits to lose are the only powers that be who deny it. The rank and file of rightwing just goes along with it.
2) Then we have voter fraud.
Before 2012, the rightwing in this country paid no mind to the incidence of voter fraud. But in 2012, Republicans in office expressed faux outrage over the issue and greatly exaggerated how common it was. They then introduced legislation to curb it. The rest of the rightwing, of course, blindly believed it to be some sort of crisis.
They never thought "hmm. Maybe republicans are just trying to make it harder for minorities to vote for Obama."
They just believe them.
The truth of the matter is that actual in-person voter fraud is incredibly rare and therefore doesn't need to be a major political issue.
Are RWs really that big of pawns?
