Problem is they do not know any better and therefore, they are convinced what they know is the truth and everybody else lies.
Vaccines preventing Covid? Lie.
Global warming? Lie.
Biden is honest? Lie.
Trump lost 2020 election? Lie.
Trump is evil? Lie.

Scapegoating is what humanity does best. Tribalism and religiosity does it. Russian communists did it. Italian fascists did it. German nazis did it. And 1950's Americans did it...beginning with McCarthy, continuing in Vietnam, exploding with "bad gubmint...bad!!!" Reagan bullshit. Finalizing with Tea Party/MAGA mind numbing populism where anybody who isn’t white and christian is the problem. I have no hope for this country ever being any better.
Humanity are locusts, with a little bit of intelligence and way too much trchnology. Sooner or later wherever civilization emerges, everything dies. Including us at some point. And then the planet will go back to its pre civilization state and the noble beasts and bugs will once again live free of the scourge of humanity.
