This isn't very optimistic. But part of me agrees with this too. Could that be considered what Henry Ford's mass distribution of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion along with the timing of distribution were?

Yep, it's why I can never embrace an "optics first" strategy and won't counter-signal even lowbrow "racists". Problems in this area aren't new; and they aren't going to be solved with politeness, voting, or reasoned debate. Certainly those things are important as well, but we're too far gone for them to be the answer.

“The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.” ― Adolf Hitler

That was the most eloquently worded "we can't fix a broken system via a broken system" I've ever heard, and I agree with you. Are you going to fix a government you acknowledge is corrupt by voting for someone the government vetted as a potential candidate to fix the corruption in the government? Makes no sense.

I guess I could even see the intelligence bit (as there are many "types" of intelligence), however I still feel grooming plays a strong role in this process. We enter the world, and we're taught from day one that it works one way, when for people who have power, it actually works another. It's more like brainwashing to me.

More people are realizing this though, which is why I don't think it's solely intelligence, and why they want to control the internet like they do. Obama referred to our internet as "The Wild West version of the Internet", I'm sure he truly gives a fuck about cyber bulling; the spread of information is more worrisome to them.
