It's much more complex than this. Take QAnon and their well crafted and targeted disinformation for example; lots of people are falling into that idiocy, including people I know, and I'm on the other side of the planet. Voting is a great tool, but it requires knowledge to be used properly. Someone realized that in modern society they don't need to bribe or threaten people anymore to have them vote candidate X, they just feed them false information ultimately obtaining the same result without any fear of consequences since no crimes were committed - all it needs is some obscure account somewhere and a few thousand likes by a click farm in the Far East and the "information" becomes legit. Democracy works only if accompanied by knowledge and critical thinking, or it soon turns out into people being free to choose their own dictator.
