Being dumb or not is completely irrelevant here

Especially when you factor in that propaganda is much more effective than most people are aware of/willing to admit.

You don't have to be an idiot or insane to be fooled by effective messaging and messaging doesn't have to make sense in order to be effective.

Otherwise, the fascist Republican party would have no chance of getting CLOSE to winning any major elections, let alone the presidency.
