The average American knows so little history(complements of our school systems) that they have no knowledge of anything since Vietnam other than Joe McCarthy(bad guy) MLK and JFK.
So they believe anything anyone says.
Witness the fact that on Jeopardy..three college students(winners) could not identify the “Man without a Country”.
One winner was American History student.
