You have the wrong idea about propaganda: most people don't use propaganda to make decisions, they use it as talking points to signal what kind of person they are. Politics are an aesthetic that most people wear, because at least in US, most people have the luxury to be immune for the most part from the federal government affecting them in tangible ways (this is also why this election was decided by 200 out of 350 million people that didn't vote).
So when you hear hardcore republicans talk about all the bad things that democrats are doing, its not that they believe that democrats are bad because they are doing those things, its that they fundamentally believe that democrats are intrinsically bad, and are using the talking points just to signal what kind of person they are.
This is why when republicans do the exact same stuff its either "fake news" or "different".
The only way to fight such ignorance, as ridiculous as it sounds, is ironically the opposite. You want to accelerate "propaganda" to the point where Republicans degrade the way of life in US to a point where people can't lead their lives day to day anymore without worrying about things like social unrest, lack of food, war, e.t.c.
