Roughly half of the population has absolutely no clue what's going on. Kids, old people, non-news-readers/viewers, etc.
A third of the population is vaguely aware that some shit is going down based on vibes but can't identify the problem.
Half the remaining sixth can identify the problem as political but misattribute the cause. Leaving just a 12th of the population actually aware of our situation.
Any real utility they might have had is wholly overshadowed by the massive capital overinvestment and shoehorning it into everything by folks grifting on that overpromise.
