But so deliberately? In what world does a half intelligent person believe this to be a good long term strategy?

    Most of the US believes in this, or is just unaware. That's how its been for most of history around the world.

    ...The remarkable issue here is the elites/rules we handed the reigns now drink their own kool-aid. The very top of most authoritarian regimes are at least cognisant of some hypocrisy, even if ideology eats them some.

    The other is that people are more 'connected' than ever, but to disinformation streams. I feel like a lot of the world (especially the US fancies) themselves as super smart on shit they know nothing about because of something they saw on Facebook or YouTube.

    No, most of the US does not believe in this. This admin got less than half of the people who even voted in the election. Which is only like half the voting population anyway. You're looking at less than a quarter who chose this, and many of those didn't even understand what they were voting for.
