My worldview is that all of us are far more "in-the-present" than we realize. I sense most people want to help, want to conform with what is seen as serving the greater good, and are willing to follow the lead of what the group seems to be doing. Not only are we overloaded with information, if we aren't being reminded of what "the good guys" did in the past that was either wrong or hypocritical, we won't know to make a fuss of it. Same story with "the bad guys" having done good things in the past.
The most eye opening thing for me was seeing the American political left embrace Liz Cheney while the American political right disavowed her. That flip was unexpected, but it makes perfect sense when it comes to what is immediately expedient.
