People are incredibly stupid.

I think this is the right answer. I really don't want to believe this is true, but I think it is.

I really don't want it to be the answer either... But as I get older it's the only thing that makes sense. And honestly I don't think it's limited to party lines (which has me rethinking some of my beliefs - what's the point of supporting the party that aims for a social safety net if they're too feckless to ever make it happen).

People are incredibly stupid and technology / politics isolates that stupidity and builds upon it to make mindless propaganda drones.
