There are two kinds of political persuasion: one for the informed and another for the uniformed. The informed are persuaded by information. The uniformed are persuaded by propaganda. You'd by surprised by how many otherwise intelligent people fall into the uniformed category. Understanding information is hard.
I'm sure you really meant to type 'uninformed' each time, or maybe autocorrect is to blame ... but the uninformed often need little persuasion to don uniforms in the service of political beliefs.
