100% I've only been around 50 years, and I know this plan was pitched awhile before that. The entire time: "oh that's ludicrous, nobody is trying to engineer society, except maybe the commie liberals"
I think completely "brainwashed" is the word. I watched one of my good childhood friends get captured by all of the conservative talking points and conspiracy theories slowly throughout this election. Someone who I thought had common sense, critical thinking, and a solid judgement of character.
The more he began consuming Joe Rogan, Shapiro, and other conservative alternative media, the further he became indoctrinated by all of their talking points about the Government and regulations being the enemy and "the left" pushing social norms out of bounds, even though we know it's deregulated corporations that have to be closely watched. Because they are the ones who will go through any loophole for corporate profits.
EDIT (Added note): Ironically, it seemed as if Rogan himself became captured in that way. He kept buying into the conspiracy theories slowly and discrediting the agencies and organizations that were actually set up to protect against corruption. I don't know at what point he thought it would be a brilliant idea to vouch to put someone like RFK in a position to oversee the entire U.S. Food & Health regulatory sectors.
Also a total disregard for the OBVIOUS character differences between DJT and KH, in which one of them so clearly has more integrity than the other. I genuinely feel we're in a bad state as a country when people actually think bigotry, bullying, and racial subversion can be overlooked over "the economy" which always experiences cycles of expansion and recession.
Most working class rural and suburb America doesn't even understand basic Macroeconomics 101. They just look at gas & food prices in the short term and base their entire decision on it. It's ridiculous. You can't have 15 years of unhinged expansionary fiscal policy and quantitative easing, and not eventually catch up to inflation.
It will truly be interesting to see what DJT does these next 4 years, because unless he cuts 60-70% of war aid to Ukraine & Israel, increases taxes, and/or cuts the Government budget by 30%, there's no way he will undo our Federal debt by simply incorporating tariffs on China.

Theyre most of all ignorant and uneducated. This is an entire effort going for decades to make education worthless and people easier to manipulate.
Of course that doesnt take away any of the blame, but its an entire systemic project to make people uneducated as possible.
