Which is the case in many countries. It's not my opinion although I would like to take credit for it, but analysts pretty much agree that it's down to a radically changing media. Mainstream, conservative as well as liberal, is pretty much dead by now. People tend to get their informations from Facebook, Twitter or more or less biased internet blogs. There's no political debate going on anymore. It's taking the desired version of information from a particular internet blog and presenting it as fact without accepting any discussion over the source or it's validity.
We can observe that here quite often. People entrench themselves in their preconceived notions and move very little to gather additional information on any given topic. It's that way with terrorism, where the alleged numbers of muslim attacks don't stand the litmus test of FBI or Europol reports. It's the same with any social issue, it's the same with refugees or immigrants, it's the same on pretty much any issue.
