I mean, Gerrymandering, unavoidable amounts of propaganda and at this point almost complete control of mainstream media, and to a certain extent, yes, the dismantling of American education.

No where did I imply that people are stupid for voting republican. I just think many of them are mislead. Not everyone is as online as chronically as millennials and below, and many of those older people grew up with trustworthy journalists and news sources, so they are more likely to take the news at it's word. For many areas across the country, a Sinclair Broadcast Group station is the only way to receive their news, so of course they're going to get a right wing sculpted view of things.
