Most of them aren't ignorant. They actually love the idea of Russia taking over America. They just pretend to be ignorant.
I completely disagree. I question people about very basics such as the meaning of the pyramid on the USA dollar bill, money / currency, and they are completely ignorant. They think "13 is an unlucky number", did the Founding Fathers of the USA think that? I don't just accept what they say at face value, because people in the USA so often parrot Fox News or parrot memes of social machine systems.
I suggest you study media ecology, the USA education systems have completely overlooked the need to teach people about these coherency problems: "It means misleading information--misplace, irrelevant, fragmented or superficial information--information that creates the illusion of knowing something but which in fact leads one away from knowing. In saying this, I do not mean to imply that television news deliberately aims to deprive Americans of a coherent, contextual understanding of their world. I mean to say that when news is packaged as entertainment, that is the inevitable result." ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985 [email protected]
“[It] is not that television is entertaining but that it has made entertainment itself the natural format for the representation of all experience. […] The problem is not that television presents us with entertaining subject matter but that all subject matter is presented as entertaining. (87)” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985
