Well yes. I mean we are speaking in generalities here . . . so yes there are definitely specialists that know more about specific topics than the average citizen lol.
And there are ignorant uneducated people in the US that definitely respond to sound bites, emotional rhetoric, and don't remember information from last week let alone last year.
ITs not the details that are being glossed over per se . . .
ITs like, well its like someone you know trying to convinve you to dislike someone they dislike dnd then take actions against them . . .
They tend to give you only one side of the story. They tend to gloss over the details that weaken their arguments.
They imply that you are somehow being disloyal to your friend if you if you don't agree how evil the other person is ..
And then finally, they will use the argument that whatever they might do in the future is very bad so action has to be taken now.
Standard behaviors from lots of people.

Sadly there are a lot of ignorant uneducated people out there and they don't need to know all of the details of every little thing. Our government is filled with specialists on many different topics. Don't they know a lot more than a common citizen.
