I think most people know the difference between political spin and reality. In some cases when their side does it they simply tolerate it and when the other side does it they get frustrated. There is a small minority on both sides who get caught up in the b.s. and can not see reality. In my opinion, and it is ironic, many of the most so called elite thinkers and leaders are the ones who appear to be most caught up in the b.s. When people refuse or can not answer simple direct questions that is my first clue that they are full of it. For example: what role should tax policy play in our society? Some people clearly believe it should be punitive, and serve the purposes of social engineering and wealth redistribution - but they would never come out and say that.
