Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid?

To clarify here, I don't feel like I'm significantly smarter than most people, but I feel like people have a hard time doing any sort of thinking about stuff. Especially when it comes to verifying "facts."

I do wonder how widespread Astro-turfing is. I just came from a discussion of EVs and some of the anti people were really obtuse in their claims. Just making wild claims that are completely against any actual real life data. There was similar for climate change, and smoking ….. sure I’m biased but people want to support the status quo against all reason. Is it some sort of stubborn stupidity? Are they malicious/trolls? Is it corporate propaganda?
I know, I think this a lot when I'm on here. Especially the whole "don't vote for Biden because Israel" thing. I just saw some comments saying that Trump would be better to have as president because he's just dumber and wouldn't be able to carry out any kind of war. I honestly can't tell anymore whether a real person would actually say that.
I mean I'm sure someone honestly believes that. But to be fair, people believe the earth is flat.
