Everyone has different skills. Some are good at thinking, and spend enormous amounts of time at improving that skill. Others… don’t. Which would be fine, if they weren’t the ones in charge - e.g. claiming to be Pro-Life while killing people.

If you are interested and haven’t done this deep dive yet, Innuendo Studios’ The Alt-Right Playbook goes into imho the perfect amount of depth to explain so much about how people fall for such logical traps. And Ian Danskin is a fucking international treasure - his other series on e.g. Protagony I cannot recommend highly though.

Anyway, my unasked-for thought is that I would guess that you feel frustrated bc you have unrealistically high “expectations” of them. Lower them - they simply are not capable of doing what you can do, and while yes a good deal of that is choice/nurture, a lot of it is innate/nature as well.

Ofc, do what you want and more importantly feel how you wish, but I hope this suggestion helps!:-)
