To be fair, they were insanely mislead as these billionaires own almost every major media and social media and control the narrative. When you’re constantly confronted with fear and hate while having little to no education, I understand you believe whoever shouts the loudest.
It’s not like USA is like Russia or China regarding media censorship.
And it’s the Germans of this time to blame for Holocaust and WW2. This also includes my own great-grandparents and their parents.
There were decades where everyone had a family story how their parents and grandparents didn’t know anything at all or how they helped Jews or whatever stuff. As if anything of this would have happened if the public sentiment would have been peaceful…
Nowadays it became kind of running gag in Germany and the people realised that our ancestors just let it all happen because the majority wanted it and were lying cowards after it failed.
I’m not saying the people are not to blame, but the corrupt voting system (like gerrymandering, harder to vote for black neighborhoods), the major news sources being controlled by oligarch billionaires as well as social media, a poor education system, information isolation, a lot of religious influence and power, most people suffering from a wide range of problems and one person who claims he can end it all, only 2 options: far right or alt right, then I think most blame lies with the billionaires, the corrupt politicians and the flawed system kept in place by these greedy narcissists, and less with the people.
Also, press freedom in the US isn’t amazing. These statistics do not look great. Between Sierra Leone and Gambia. A score of 65.5 on a scale from 1 to 100.
