This short video is the sixth in a series of videos about how Americans react to obvious, provable deception, lies, and gaslighting by politicians. The quotation attributed to the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan was “You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts.” This belief might have been false in 1973, but until recently, I believed most Americans held that facts could be proven true or false, or flagged for more scrutiny.
This video explores how tribal loyalty shapes our perception of the world as it is. We are heavily influenced by our attachment to tribes or reference groups (e.g., religious, cultural, and political) from an early age because we see the world through their lens. Our tribal loyalty is based on and reinforced by many factors, including a strong emotional bond.
