I would say, "ignorant masses"... otherwise you are spot on.
You are right. I contradicted myself. idiot/intelligent
They are willingly ignorant. They don’t actually want to know, or be told by their media sources, those things that make them uncomfortable. Many of them are single issue voters (you know the issue of which I allude) who adopt all of the other policy propaganda that aligns with the side because they just don’t want to think that the politicians who champion that one cause for them can be wrong on other issues, so they compromise and sacrifice beliefs that they otherwise would have held. Willingly ignorant for the cause. Even willing to subscribe to hate and violence, because the propagandists portray it as justice.
