Do you what indoctrination means? Intelligence has very little to do with it. Smart people can also be indoctrinated.

There are different types of intelligence. One of which is realizing when people are playing you,

It's so in your face at this point though, no, smart people can't believe party line bullshit, they are either stupid or dishonest.

I take your point, but Indoctrination in the oligarchy's propaganda in this circumstance does indicate a lack of intelligence.

Because the oligarchy is working to make us all slaves, and is incapable of running the country well, and will leave everyone worse off, even the rich, after the degeneration accelerates especially, (after they openly steal elections, (checks watch.))

They are fucking stupid. Unable to see past their next move, trusting the wrong people to lead them, despite overwhelming evidence that the oligarchy and their leaders are the enemy.

Man, I'm gonna blame the perpetrators rather than the victims, but, uh, you do you, I guess?
