America.
Americans.
Social media.
It's the perfect storm where people will literally believe anything and even some of their news channels just report what's being said without any question.
That and an underfunded education system in the clutches of right-wing lunatics.
Saw a clip of someone arguing that the hurricanes were controlled by the government's weather machines, because why else would they only hit red districts/states? It was an attempt to stop people voting! To give the speaker their due, they made one factually correct statement that cannot be refuted: "I'm no expert, but...". Sadly they then kept talking.
Edit for context: it was in an interview by someone who asked the obvious "but, why?" questions, to which the mental void being interviewed had no answers, and yet they're permitted to vote...
