No way the general populace is that stupid.

It isn't an issue of stupidity. Not like "Edward Snowden" is a name you can conjure up from first principles.

He was headline news back in 2008 and now he's not. Anyone who wasn't following national news nearly twenty years ago likely won't be familiar with him. No more than a Millennial is going to know who Daniel Ellsberg or Robert W. Jackson are.

The entire Wikileaks project has been more or less obliterated.
