I just wonder marvel at how they can manipulate people so easily.

People are not only stupid (half are stupider than average and most of the rest are really close to average) and scared, but they're economically and informationally stretched very thin, and critically - they're all as divided as TPTB can get them, mostly trapped in ineffective disempowering echo-chambers and misinfo perception bubbles.
