According to Science Daily, ¨Confirmation bias is a
phenomenon wherein decision makers have been shown to actively seek out and
assign more weight to evidence that confirms their hypothesis and ignore or
under weigh evidence that could disconfirm their hypothesis.”
The Confirmation bias is
at epidemic levels. Can you fathom the
amount of crap thrown at us that somehow people believe? Everything from the
snow ball in the halls of Congress to “only Congress can fix the immigration
separation issue” is believed by many.
In
every election the confirmation bias is used to convince unsuspecting citizens
that their candidate is right, and the opposing candidate is a liar. And the danger of this issue is that this
artificial branding of a candidate works.
If you
ask those inflicted by this bias who the biggest liar is between Trump and
Hillary, they will still answer Lying Hillary.
Even when fact checkers indicated that Hillary was tied with Bernie as
telling the least lies during the campaign at 28% and Trump was slightly behind
Ben Carson at 75%, it’s lying Hillary. When
Trump has over 3000 documented lies since being inaugurated, he is still
believed.
The
reason is the confirmation bias! People
only listen to what confirms their previous beliefs regardless of facts right
in front of them. And when the liars can get more people to repeat their lies,
or at least be silent if they disagree, those lies will be believed.
Why
does the President have so many family members as his advisers? For a reference
just look at history. Ma Barkers Gang! Ma Barker had her children do bad things under her control.
When Pa
Trumps gang spews his evil lies, all his loyalists, extensions of his gang, sell their soul to the devil
and his family is guarantied to support him or remain silent, thus allowing the
confirmation bias to become active in his cult of believers.
This
will repeat itself at election time. Trump supporters running for office will
depend on the confirmation bias to get elected.
It is time
for all true Americans to rise above the confirmation bias. Don’t believe
anything you hear or read and only half of what you see in person. Find reliable sources to research all issues
yourself.
You never know what
information is provided by Russian bots or lying Pa Trumps Gang! So we must shout the truth over and over again!
