often people know that, for example, elections are fraudulent, but they are too scared to say anything

People might vaguely understand that elections don’t produce good outcomes or have systemic bias. That’s then condensed to „elections are rigged“, regardless of the facts and details.

Most people know little about most things. It’s difficult to even have good fundamentals about most things in our complex world. So people will defer to their personal experience and information seeped into their minds by osmosis/exposure.

Things like an economy or political system are extremely complex already and not fully understood even by experts.
