I do think this would be good to do, but I think I’m more pessimistic about the effect size.
For example, there’s plenty of evidence (circulating on Twitter, etc.) of Trump and his crew contradicting themselves across time. How much did it harm his support base? I think not much. AFAICT, most of the drop in support came from big unpopular actions, like the war with Iran.
A fundamental issue seems to be that people filter out what they allow themselves to observe or even take sufficiently seriously to enable updating their beliefs at all.
