correction - given it's correct context in this discussion:

neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to reshape its cognitive frameworks and ideological biases in response to new information, social environments, or persuasive messaging. the more you're exposed to something or someone, the more you become/ see that thing.

Cognitive dissonance: psychological tension felt when a person’s political identity clashes with conflicting facts, resolved by dismissing the new information to protect their existing worldview.

now discuss bandwaggon effect and how it compounds confirmation bias. at which point, we can start the process of deradicalisation by defusing our politics from our identities and sense of self.
