Nearly half of America seems to be although I'd argue they're too stupid to even realize it.
More charitably we can say half the population trusts their tribal influencers to know what they are doing.
Before you go condemning them all, the tribal influencers telling people The Establishment Democrats know what they are doing or also misleading people. And people still do not seem to realize it.
Everyone trusts the wrong people.
They are like "nuh uh. You're the facist." When you read them the definition of the word they say google changed it.
It's so fucking infuriating... The very same "facts over feelings" group will deny the veracity of any fact provided unless it comes directly from their propagandist of choice...
People seem to have forgotten that the core conceit of George Orwell's 1984 isn't the surveillance state or the constant war or the two minutes hate and all the rest. It's the idea that by perverting what people even understand as truth you can get them to do anything.
Anti-fascists are Fascists, criticising someone who spouted hate speech is hate speech, anti-racism is racist.
