Many voters are willing to accept misinformation from political leaders – even when they know it’s factually inaccurate. According to our research, voters often recognize when their parties’ claims are not based on objective evidence. Yet they still respond positively, if they believe these inaccurate statements evoke a deeper, more important “truth.”

You seem to be missing the point. There are very few fascists who wake up. Look in the mirror, smile to themselves and think damn. I'm going to make some fantastically fascist choices today. They are billions of people who wake up every morning. Look at themselves in the mirror and think I'm going to choose what's right for me because I deserve it. Billions more will wake up look in the mirror and decide that they want to do what's best for the world because the world deserves that. The other third keeps sleeping because they're tired of listening to the first and second third argue.

That's the deeper meaning greed, compassion, apathy. Choose your flavor.
