I mean the thing is propaganda doesn't have to be good if it fits into peoples preconceived notions and validates their ignorance, because people want to be told that they're right rather than be informed on what they don't know.

Now more than ever we live in a world where people can find whatever reality of truths they need for themselves. Confirmation bias has been pushed to the absolute extreme now where people will seek out the voices that back themselves up - and when they do, that person becomes an authority to them. Someone that proves all the others wrong, that you are right, and so the audience start picking up whatever else they're saying that they didn't particularly care about before just because the speaker is held up as a voice of reason for saying what really mattered.
