This is the reason Fox News was created. They’ve succeeded in telling a large part of the population how to think and what to believe. Those people have raised kids and taught them the same bullshit. How do we get past this if people are too ignorant to care?

I don’t think we can. All we can really hope is that these cynical and corrupt politicians get complacent and over-step the mark so blatantly that even the average Joe, who’s been spoonfed fox since a kid, can see that they’re being lied to.
Unfortunately I think it will be practically the end of civilisation before that happens. There will be folks dying in the street after the billionaires and tillionaires have taken all the resources, who’ll still be shaking their fists and saying “Thanks Obama”.
