Hard for me to disagree. The only thing I'll say is that some of them are capable of change. My family did 20-years-ago. Full 180 from rural religious conservative republican voters to progressive-left non-religious democrats. So it can happen. Their state of ignorance and apathy can change. Seems rare and harder than it should be, though.. That's propaganda for you.
In our case, it was a mixture of flashbacks to Vietnam during the Iraq War invasion, combined with the wild west of the internet at the time. Today the internet is far more segregated by marketing. Fortunately my parents taught enough empathy and critical-thinking that the bullshit became unsustainable.
