The Ministry of Truth is on it!

I wonder who they think will fall for that stuff, really? Is there a graph with an estimated percentage of gullibility?

The entire irony behind this, to me, from what I have studied about it, is that the ones who consider themselves "woke" and "the in crowd" and Red Pill takers, (I guess red is for Republican) and "have it all figured out" seem to be the most likely to buy into the propaganda, hook, line and sinker. They are proffering more establishment-induced material than they can comprehend.

That's why the new "woke" would be, IMHO, that the conspiracy is the conspiracy theories. There is a lot of information about how foreign and local governments are tapping into that "alternative reality" sphere to exploit the people who believe in things they don't really understand and are not capable of discerning a form of pareidolia and confirmation bias with substantiated fact. Even if they don't agree, consensus reality has its common ground and you start there and then find your conspiracies, (which do leave a trail of evidence.) They force the data to fit their theories rather than the other way around and this is not clear to them, even.
