It’s not just social media…maybe it is, but IMO it’s not.
Somewhere along the way people started being proud of being ignorant. It’s weird as hell. I don’t watch the news is a big bragging point for a lot of conservatives these days. (The current game is MSM deep state lizard people…but before that even, people were tuned out and only watching Fox)
They’re also very proud of not having a higher education. Ok Bob, that’s cool you get 30-45 an hour doing manual labor, how’s that oxy addiction going for you. Let’s talk about the subtle nuances of socio economic control by our corporate overlords…oh…right…immigrants bad…moving on.
You’re not wrong about social media, but building this critical mass of uneducated willfully ignorant chronically sick cultists took decades and multiple avenues.
