I would argue programmed. It's not like any of this just appeared out of the woodwork. Killing a democracy takes time, takes effort, takes a bit of genius and a bit of research. This has been going on for some time...none of this is an accident.

"Attempt to control"
I would argue that has already occurred.

"Who are the people on the 'other team'?..."
That will be whoever we tell you.
Fear not, you will go along. You will be convinced, or coerced, to go along.

"What is the safest mechanism..."
Above my pay grade.

"How is this transformation going to occur so that it is just and sustainable?"
The planet is boiling. Do what you will with that information.

I know. I read the story.
It's the headlines that astound me.
Not the stories.
After all...as you've suggested...they are all people see.

I always found the #illusionaryTruthEffect stunning. If you are not familiar: Repeated statements receive higher truth ratings than new statements. The fluency of retrieval seems to function as a heuristic.
Until now, I thought 2 things limit it's effect: time and knowledge. Unfortunately, I learned that the phenomenon occurs even if people know it better. Even a month between fact communications does not eliminate it. 😔
