I think it's more that they reject information / knowledge / learning. That's why they're so prone to disinformation, grift, and conspiracy theories.
They accuse all of the other sources of media of being leftist. They reject any narrative that puts their ideology in a bad light. Their politicians have been pushing them away from news sources that they deem "leftist". They've been entirely brainwashed by centralized messaging from a handful of sources yet accuse the left of being the brainwashed ones. It's wild.
