Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.

Or just really gullible.
Propaganda is an effective tool for shaping public opinion. It has far less to do with the gullibility of the individual and far more to do with the sheer volume and homogeneity of the message being espoused in the community.
If everyone on TV is chanting the same message, everyone in your town is raised with the same educational orthodoxy, and every social medium promotes the same message, you're going to be under enormous social pressure to accept the catechism as delivered.
