Wow, cool vid Max, thanks for sharing it.
I especially liked the part about voters hopes and fears are what persuades them on issues, and damn the facts. I find that easy to believe.
Kind of destroys the whole "uninformed voters" beat down given out by academic types from time to time. I'm sure my betters would disagree though.

Yesterday was more international revalations, but tonight's episode of this investigation deals with US specifically.

I need to disappear into work zone for a while, but the WaPo article attached to this tweet is worth your time. (Sorry to attach tweets so often, but it is a really quick simple way for me to attach both a pithy summary and an article link from a mobile device.)
