People believe different things in politics because they see the same facts through different lenses. Imagine you're looking at a rainbow, but one person sees red and orange, while another sees blue and green, they're both seeing the same thing, just differently. In politics, people might focus on parts of a story that match what they already believe, or listen to people who think like them.
Examples
- A child grows up hearing about a politician who helps poor families, and that person becomes the child’s favorite politician.
- Two people read the same news story, one thinks it's true, the other thinks it's fake, just because of their different beliefs.
- When everyone around you agrees with a certain idea, it feels right to believe it too.
