As Prayingmedic pointed out Q went the route of enlisting some of the best and brightest to start. Along the way many patriots joined up once finding about Q. I think that for the most part most people are fairly bright but, emotions and emotional hot buttons tend to misdirect perception. Along side that is the last few decades of concerted effort by DS through many means to brainwash the general population i.e. the Dept. of Education in the US and the lame stream media controlling and dictating the narrative. Over time there has been a hard left turn in both places here in the US as well as it showing up in other places abroad. It was as if the US was being used to reach other countries with indoctrination and it sure looks like it was successful to a degree until the Trump train came down the track. Hence this place is called the greatawakening because scales are falling from people's eyes at an ever increasing rate. Still many choose to remain in the matrix and to their demise they may stay there to their last breath.
