While it's easy to brush off stupid, 40+ years of destroying education has it's effects. Added in The Fairness Doctrine and Citizens United, then atleast 30 years of propaganda Fox News... Most Americans don't realize any of the things I mentioned, so they have no idea how manipulated thier views are.
Also our media in general is RW or "both sides!!", you're shown what RW donors want you to see. Look at even once respected news outlets, they can't stop shitting on Democrats. Nor is our news telling people constantly and loudly, "The President doesn't control gas prices". The *confusion* over which party is literal nazis can fall back on the perception presented by our *liberal* (anything but) Media.
