I just think the majority of people lack the ability to think critically. They just depend on an authoritative source to do that for them, which is fine if that authoritative source is genuinely trying to discern truth, but once that source starts to use its position to gaslight, we get this - large parts of the population believing the propaganda.
People in average are pretty dumb, that's a statistical fact.
They believe masks save us from COVID, they believe Biden legitimately won, they believe the media's lies.
You're not wrong to think you are smarter than them.
