I don't think it's so much that they are stupid, but that they have lost the ability to exercise common sense. They are ruled by their emotions, and gravitate towards whoever panders to them and validates their feelings in the moment (be they good, bad, or ambivalent). It's a pretty obvious sign of widespread mental illness, as it demonstrates people cannot distinguish between their feelings and objective reality.
There have always been a slice of the population like this but they have exploded in numbers in recent years. All by design of course, and wildly exacerbated by psychotropic meds, the destruction of supportive community (e.g church and social clubs), online demagogues, and the proliferation of "therapy" that encourages people to dwell on their problems instead of rising above them.
It's not a pretty picture and it doesn't bode well for society. But it does give those of us who don't fall prey to this stuff a great opportunity to be productive and do quite well for ourselves. At least until society collapses.
I agree but can take the point further. There are two classic ways to reason, Greek and Judeo- Christian. In the Greek tradition here are the steps: 1. I’m confronted with a fact 2. I have an emotional response to the fact 3. I look for other facts to reinforce my emotional response allowing my feeling to dictate my reality. 4. I act based on what makes me feel good, In the Judeo-Christan tradition: 1. i’m confronted with a fact 2. I have an emotional response to the fact 3. I evaluate my emotional response against what the truth is / God says 4. I bring my feelings into alignment with the truth 5. I act based on the truth, not allowing my feelings to dictate my reality. Historically all falling society’s shift their mindset to the greek tradition when they reject the fact that their is absolute truth/ God. It catapults them into hedonism and destroys everything it touches. This is a simplified explanation as I teach this starting in 6th grade to homeschool kids and build from there. The key point is the rejection of the concept that truth is absolute. When we’re unwilling as people to die to ourselves we loose all ability to reason.
Your comment today is supportive of the previous discussion of a fluoridated, vaccinated society; also contributors of the conditions you so well described. The more recent of those interventions seems to be causing a rapidly diminishing degree of common sense.

God bless you and right on the money.
Great comment, spot on Jeff C.!
They lack a spiritual framework. No anchoring to truths so they navigate life by their emotions.
Once a 🐑 always a 🐑.
