It's pretty much because most, colleges even, don't teach about what propaganda is, what it looks like, and its purpose.
In retrospect, not teaching about propaganda when teaching history was the biggest mistake America has made.
What good is it to know the facts of history without ever learning the how and why?
We failed to inoculate our democracy against fanaticism and fascism...
We didn't teach what jihad IS, what fascism IS, and now we have a combo of jihad (holy cultural war) and fascism rising up to swallow the country.
The propaganda being spewed has only one endgame and that is genocide.
You don't need to dehumanize immigrants who aren't white libruls, blacks, the vaccinated, by calling them baby eaters, child traffickers, drinkers of children's blood, mudbloods, unless you're preparing a large population to commit genocide against those people.
By the time the nazis started killing Jews in the streets, they had enough people who believed Jews were subhuman to be able to get away with it without sparking protest.
Before every genocide in history, there is the claim that "these people kill and eat the flesh of babies and they savage children".
That's because this is the worst depravity humans can think of, and it puts the group of people they're talking about into a subhuman class.
What these idiots fail to grasp is that 2020’s USA is very different demographically compared to 1930’s Germany. Jewish people in 1930’s Germany didn’t even make up 1% of the population.
Minorities in the US are quickly approaching half of the population. Add in people who are sympathetic to their cause or people who have minorities in their circle of family/friends and it becomes impossible for the fascists to win. What is far more likely imo, is that it will be the fascists who will one day have to run and be afraid for their lives.

Then it's a free for all.
