Yes. Though in this case, the probability of a blue win affects whether you should vote blue. If someone intending to vote blue was informed that only 10% of others intended to vote blue, of course he'd change to red.
And the framing greatly affects the probabilities.

Does seem odd that the focus in so much of the papers around David Amess's murder is around political discourse. I'm all in favour of less shouty/angry hyperbole in politics but it wasn't why he was killed.

And that's because of insight #3: people don't share content because it's good. They share it because IT MAKES THEM LOOK GOOD! Nobody cares where it came from, what matters is that it helps grow people's interest in them when they share it.

We need to stop calling QAnon a conspiracy theory. At this point it's more like a social cult. It's not about one event like 9/11 or the Kennedy Assassination - it's a decoder ring for every event that happens in society. It's a filter through which its adherents view the world.
