I'd say it is ,at least partly, an education problem.
Sure, education is less likely to correct a deeply engraned false belief, but education is one of the most effective tools to prevent the lies, misinformation, and manipulation from taking hold in the first place.
However, like most preventative measures, it will take a long time to see results.
OK, if you can educate them early, yeah. However, these folks were homeschooled. They were elitist and arrogant.
Widespread homeschooling is definitely problematic.
Yes, but i bet you don't know how bad homeschooling is. It's one of the few beliefs i share with the left that homeschooling is bad. It's so bad that when people defend homeschooling, they get the objections wrong. Homeschooling fails so socialize children, and homeschooling advocates say that means children have no friends. Nobody says that. It's so embarrassing. I dealt with homeschool kids and they're fragile and weak.
If i was on the left, i would cerebrate this like crazy. They are scared and they're running away and what's more their making their children weak.
