Repeatedly cited is a perfect example: Saddam's mythical WMDs. When facts and numbers clearly said WMDs did not exist, the emotional (same type people who loved and wanted to be Nazis) only wanted to believe soundbytes.
Another classic example: Dejavue Vietnam. And still every 30 years, outright lies are widely believed.
Scams and lies routinely manipulate people who ignore (forget) even what was taught in primary school science.
Believing a soundbyte and using the reptilian brain (rather than being informed, learning why, and using the other logical brain) is so much easier. Soundbytes are done in sentences. Honesty required tens of paragraphs. As George Jr used to say, "It is so har.r.r.r.r.d".
So much easier was to believe the hate that Hitler promoted. Despots need people who only believe soundbytes and its cousin - junk science reasoning.
