There’s a lot of money controlling media propaganda, which brainwashes people. Or people are otherwise powerless. You could probably say the same about Russians in Putin’s Russia. Or Chinese under the CCP.

Brainwash nothing, you have to be a ponderously ignorant person and inherently mean enough to fall for the brainwashing. That excuse maybe flies the first term, at this point they're genuinely indisputably bad people. They have agency. They choose this seeing everything you and I see. Fuck em all, if they all died overnight it would solve the majority of the earth's problems.

Yes, the difference is that most people are aware it's happening in Authoritarian countries like Russia and China, but forget that it's also happening in USA.
