It’s a lot easier to blame anything else over accepting that a significant majority of the US (and probably the world) are either profound dullards or literal fascists.
I don’t believe that. These people spend billions of dollars on media capture to put as many people as possible in a propaganda bubble. The more people you have in the bubble, the more awful shit you can get away with, which is why shit has gotten progressively worse as more people get segmented into echo chambers that foster extremism. It’s resilient too, because you can also scam your audience with commemorative coins and stuff, which makes it self-sustain long enough for people to feel like it’s just the way things always are. But I don’t think it’s just that people are awful. Too much money and effort goes into convincing people to be awful to each other for me to believe it’s a natural condition.
Every day, I find that I am more disappointed and angry with the general populace. I get that they were propagandized and shit from birth. But like… So was I. And yet I somehow got a conscience and eyeballs to read.

People, on the whole, are awful.

People are just so incredibly lazy.
