They dont do absolutely any fact checking. And dont forget they live a completely different reality than yours. They read and watch completely different news sources. You have your own echo chamber on lemmy and progressive forums and new sources. They have their own echo chamber of forums and ales johnses and media.
i intentionally try not to engage with echo chambers too much, that's why i focus more directly on individual and collective behaviors. The idea of being "ingrained" into an echo chamber spooks me too much, you can look through my post history if you're curious.
