The local elections are coming up. I see candidates using AI generated images to make a stand against data centres in our LGA and no one bats an eyelid 👀 Are people just dumb or am I missing something? 😭😬

Yeah, but they are REALLY DUMB. That 20% holds jobs, votes, has children, including children that go off to college, (basically they seem functional) and then out of nowhere they start telling you how the government is putting mind control chemicals in jet fuel and that is why we can see chemtrails.
What?
How does that even work? Who profits, who does the work but doesn't tell anybody, who is it actually working on? How can any of this fit in your existing world view?
1 in 5.

The first 20% is really dumb, and will be the people who always pick the joke answer on a poll. They are just consistently wrong. They are afraid of "antifa". They thought George Bush Jr. Did a good job.
The next 20% pisses me off. They are the people who will believe things that seem popular. "Well, the government knows that aliens exist, because so many people talk about it." "God must be real, there are so many churches."
They are the 20% that is gettable by propaganda.
@Urban_Hermit Are you afraid of the concept of "US defaultism"?
Let me give you an example: An Australian writes something online, one of her mutuals, a French living in Japan, replies to her. Suddenly, the American in the room replies with a whole thread and manages to make it about the US... 🤷♂️
@SeaFury When you consider that about 80% (on average) of the population of any place is dumb everything starts making more sense.
