They can’t understand the concept of having nuanced views so they latch onto the last thing they saw. Someone saying to trust the scientists and researchers at the CDC during a pandemic is evil and pro-establishment in all ways but also someone, ten minutes later, pointing out that the government has done, and is doing, many bad things means they’re “anti-American”.

It’s not to crazy once you realize that holding two conflicting ideas in your mind has the prequisite of being able to hold any two ideas in your mind at the same time.
