This is why the education system is underfunded and the people are kept in poverty. So that they don't have the means to inform themselves.
Also, tribalism is a thing. They just need to find one issue that gets people riled up enough to vote on it. It's why 99% of American political discourse focuses on social issues like abortion and then both parties enact economic policies that disadvantage the working class. Because everyone feels strongly one way or the other about abortion.
