MSNBC: Americans believe crime is way, way up. The stats don't match that.

That's because the vast majority of Americans believe whatever they are told and rarely seek out the truth. Also, political personalities and organizations have figured out that if you show people a handful of incidents out of a country of 300 million people on a constant loop several thousand times, they'll believe they are under imminent threat, even though the odds of then encountering that same situation are about 10 million to one.

Slight Correction. They believe what they hear if it’s in line with what they want to believe. Then believe the complete opposite once the other guy is in office.

Dems
…stopped protesting war as soon as Obama got into office.
…stopped believing there was a crisis at the border and caring about trafficked children as soon as Biden got into office.
…stopped believing that protecting the American worker was important once Trump got into office.

The GOPers…
…stop caring about spending…
…and small government…
…and education
…every time any Republican is in office. And won’t shut up about that shit when there’s not.
