They’re not all stupid. Again, that’s a comforting lie we tell ourselves. I’ve personally known engineers, a Colonel, a cabinet maker, and C-suite execs that have all gone down the rabbit hole. They have willfully drank down the propaganda and are willfully ignorant but not all of these people are stupid.
Stupid people are easy to manipulate.
Many of these aren’t stupid people. That’s a cop out we tell ourselves to feel superior. Willful ignorance is closer to the truth.
I’m not saying that the people running the party are stupid. But the ones falling for their shit are just plain stupid.
Smart people fall for lies, cons, and cults all the time - it is foolish to believe anyone is immune to such things because they’re “too smart”.
