Sometimes there are interpretations that become so ingrained in people's minds that they cannot be removed, even if they turn out to be wrong. Two examples from the US elections four years ago illustrate this well. For example, after the elections it was said that 52 percent of white women voted for Trump.

Thousands of stories emerged about Trump voters, about diners, about rural and forgotten America. And the opinion pages expanded their spectrum of opinions.
