People yes, but also the system is extremely fucked up and stacked against people. If you are unlucky to be born in bumfuck Alabama, you’ll grow up with your asshole priest telling you lies, your TV / Radio telling you lies, your patents telling you lies because they too were lied to and your school being underfunded and shitty.
It’s a vicious cycle that we allowed to get to a point of no return and it is not easy for somone to get out of it.
And this is by design, the elites used religion and propaganda to brainwash a huge swath of people.
I honestly think even they are surprised how well they did, because they were afraid they went too far when Trump got into office the first time.
They thought they had pushed their luck and now a fully open conman rapists was the leader of their party.
But, the brainwashing was too strong and complete, the cult members are literally cheering him on as he’s killing people.

I get that and I could see that as an excuse maybe 10-15 years ago, but my thinking is that in the age of regular internet availability, nation-wide, there is less of an excuse to be ignorant and it’s more of a choice at this point about whether you are informed or not.

It is got you because you are not in their bubble. The tech oligarchy has fully isolated the cult of MAGA.
Cults in the past had to be in a physical compound to keep the lie going, but today you have X, Facebook and FOX News which does not let any outside information in.
And let’s be real, your racist grandpa doesn’t know about lemmy or how to make an account or how to spot news slop.
Again, his highschool education barely thought him evolution, and critical thinking skills were not on the curriculum.
