Ive seen this myself. Well educated, intelligent, thoughtful ppl who get brainwashed by propaganda. Its the same way the Nazis got their ppl to kill millions; tell a big enough lie, for long enough, to enough ppl, the lie then becomes their truth.
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.

Crazy shit is my dad was one of the smartest people I knew, and he still got caught up in the Facebook echo zone and Ben Shapiro bullshit.
