      Everyone always underestimates the effect of disinformation and propaganda on an electorate that doesn’t have the time or energy to do research. They’re too busy being overworked and want to spend the little free time they have doing something they like, not more “work” figuring out politics. That’s why media companies that spoon feed opinions are so effective. People don’t have time to think about root causes.
