Ideology can prevent people from seeing things that are obvious.

This is the craziest (and longest) example of mass delusion that I can remember. And in the US, it seems there's delusion on both sides: on the Left we have the Church of Genderology, and on the right we have Qanon.

I think that the internet has accelerated the ability of mass delusions to take hold, although they have occurred at other times in history; the difference is the Church of Genderology is deliberate, global and very well-funded.
