Americans no longer agree on basic questions of fact. Is climate change real? Does racism still determine who gets ahead? Is sexual orientation innate? Do immigration and free trade help or hurt the economy? Does gun control reduce violence? Are false convictions common?0Employing several years of original survey data and experiments, Marietta and Barker reach a number of enlightening and provocative conclusions: dueling fact perceptions are not so much a product of hyper-partisanship or media propaganda as they are of simple value differences and deepening distrust of authorities. These duels foster social contempt, even in the workplace, and they warp the electorate. The educated - on both the right and the left - carry the biggest guns and are the quickest to draw. And finally, fact-checking and other proposed remedies don't seem to holster too many weapons; they can even add bullets to the chamber. Marietta and Barker's pessimistic conclusions will challenge idealistic reformers. 650 0 $a Communication in politics. 650 0 $a Facts (Philosophy) $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Public opinion $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Political psychology $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Public opinion. $y 21st century $x Public opinion. 650 7 $a Communication in politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00870243 650 7 $a Political psychology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069667 650 7 $a Politics and government $x Public opinion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919779 650 7 $a Public opinion $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082794 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 700 1 $a Barker, David C. $q (David Christopher), $d 1969- $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214024957.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190605013758.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=57A304F0875711E9A56C064497128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
