Emotion is how we process reality. Just because we spend a lot of time with computers that only understand logic doesn't mean that that works for real life. The problem is lack of information, not emotion. Politics is immensely complicated and hard to understand without the right heuristics, and, from what I've seen, age doesn't help here much at all. People just tend to believe whatever most in their bucket believe regardless of age or even education. Logic doesn't seem to do squat, which is actually not surprising if you think about it.
