If you were born in southern Florida to a set of Cuban parents and told your entire life that communism was the devil and that Trump is the savior against the communist DNC, you’d believe the same thing.
Doesn’t matter if you have the whole of human knowledge accessible to you. The human brain is very good at filtering out things you don’t want to see.
That’s not an example of someone choosing to be ignorant. That’s someone forced to be ignorant. There is a difference. The majority of Trump’s supporters are making a choice.

I don’t think so. I think people like Elon musk are making a conscious and deliberate choice to embrace fascism. He understands exactly what he’s doing and is voluntarily taking steps towards it.
Most Trump supporters are just the Cubans in my previous example. Ignorant and afraid.
People don’t choose to be dumb or confused. 😔

Yes they do. Especially in the west. We all have access to all of human knowledge. Ignorance is no longer an acceptable excuse.

Willful ignorance is when people choose to be ignorant, which often leads to confusion.
Is it willful when it is the easiest option to be misinformed?
Yes, because ease or difficulty is not relevant. The choice is.
