Propaganda is a powerful tool. Many useful idiots have no idea that they are the conduit by which the propaganda develops credibility. Some screed from a stranger doesn't mean much, but an e-mail or a Facebook post from a relative, that gets passed along.
It's sad that folks seem to lose their critical thinking skills when the information they receive fits their personal worldview. Like I said - the empty-headed plastic dolls nod furiously when jostled. And the propagandists love a society of bobbleheads.
There have been useful idiots since there have been propagandists. Which is probably the time the spoken word was developed. But with the internet, the bobbleheaded fools multiply like rabbits.
