Q, I'd love to believe that only 4-6% are hopeless and forever brainwashed, but I'm afraid that number may be higher–upwards to 40-60% or higher even, judging by friends in real life and on social media.
You keep referring to these people as "stupid". I hate to be the one to have to ask. Who elected them? Stupid people, of course. And how can we hope for better when the educational system we have now is collectivist in it's very nature and cannot teach other than collectivism which produces people too stupid to know they're slaves, but just smart enough to know how to run the machines maybe.
Given that AI is about to take over, we need mass reeducation very quickly. As of yet, these recent events (FBI failures, school shootings) have only proved that people are dumber than ever and more asleep at the wheel than ever.
It seems we need a great event to truly awaken the people and that simply hasn't happened yet.
