    I’d say educational system, or better, it’s downfall through decades, plays a significant role in making population dumb enough to not see through these constant lies.

      The multigenerational operation directly involves the defunding of, and attacks on, education. This isn’t a this or that situation. ALL conservative and neoliberal policy since the 1970’s is about destroying ALL socialist/liberal/democratic advances made to date, and returning the working class to ignorant destitution; much easier to control and brainwash mentally-ill morons (see MAGA).
