Have you seen on Twitter that Dubya is the hero of the left these days? The man blamed by the left for every terrorist atrocity since 9/11 is now their hero because he wasn't as bad as The Donald. Funny as fuçk.

I wouldn’t say he’s a hero on the left at all, that’s silly talk. But it tells you a lot about trump when even GWB thinks he’s a c*nt.
It's happened. Lot's. And the latest was only a week or so ago during the Tory conference where May 'borrowed' Labour's policies on social housing, organ donation, student debt, etc. And she already took up there policy of capping energy prices. All lapped up by the faithful - https://www.google.com/amp/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/theresa-may-je
Happens all the time - Osbourne poached Labour's ideas last year and again they were lapped up by the faithfull.
You could probably replicate that in any polarised situation. People are mostly TR. Take football - you can replicate it with Swans managers and players if you want - Ash and Siggy the latest. Heroes when they played for us, tossers now they've left. Or Bobby Brown Shoes, or Brenda, Scotty....etc.

In a nutshell, people's perception of the media is that it reflects public opinion. In reality, the very opposite is true.
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--forever.

I'm not sure if you watched the video. This wasn't President Trump stealing ideas from the other side.
This was somebody asking random people their opinion on President Trump's new tax plans. They all immediately said they disagreed with them. The interviewer then presented President Trump's tax plan as Bernie Sanders' idea, and they all thought it was brilliant, only to be mortified when revealed it was actually the plan they said at the beginning they disagreed with.
It shows that many people, even those educated at university level, are brainwashed by media outlets such as CNN who will tell these people x, y and z is bad without presenting them the facts to let them judge for themselves.

I watched the video and it doesn't do what you said.
It asks what people thought of an overall tax plan (although that is being kind as 9 pages of bullet points doesn't give you a 'tax plan'), which contains many elements and then separately asked about 3 individual policies which are not, in the US, the contentious parts of the plan nor the reason that people are unsupportive.
One of those policies, over here, would be an immediate nod to right wing economics - the abolition of the so called 'death tax' or inheritance tax. In the US it's not. In fact it's often been said that the attitude to inheritance tax is an example of the difference between the two countries. In the U.K., left wing politicians can easily raise inheritance tax rates or thresholds as people believe it to be a tax on the rich. In the US, it's incredibly difficult to do so, as even the poorest people (who should on the face of it be unbothered or supportive of a rise), don't like it as they believe that one day they could be wealthy (the American dream laid bare if you like).
The contentious parts of Trump's plan (which the interviewer stays well clear of), is the overall reduction of taxation on the wealthiest in society through both income taxes and corporate taxes. It's an attempt to, once again, introduce 'trickle down' economics (or Reaganomics as they often call it) - a belief that you give the richest people more money and it stimulates growth.
Never has done in the past, won't this time. But Trump doesn't care - he just wants to make his pals richer. No effect on him of course, as he avoids paying tax anyway.
Your summary is correct though - you are living proof of people being theoretically educated yet brainwashed and unable to think for themselves.
