We are all bathed in propaganda and distraction and false consciousness, so many things that should be obvious in a better world would actually be shocking and rejected out of hand by most people if you just told them the conclusive facts. Liberals invested in the voting system already conflate it with democracy and repeat propaganda against "enemy" states when they deviate from this model, calling them undemocratic. Those same liberals are unhappy with their governments and do not feel represented (correct!) but simultaneously justify and entrench their own systems as great and buy the propaganda that the real problems are things like those who vote wrong or immigrants, etc.

Underneath this propaganda is the greater mover of white supremacy and the colonizer mindset. A false sense of superiority salves the wound.
