And it is actually very sad, lots of their working class, really believe that Putin actually is successfully pulling it off.
This is a scary situation.
And I believe HN/Ycombinator cater to the crowd that actually has the ability to disrupt this status quo. People that can really change things for the better.
Let's turn this ship around. Solving this problem can be how SV rewrites it's history to become known for more than attention draining and advertising schemes.

I could say that you have consumed leftists propaganda about Trump. But I won't.
> The masses always will consume the propaganda > How can we improve the results?
For starters, stop thinking of people as masses. They are capable of making intelligent decisions.
I think I understand why when choosing between Clinton and Trump people picked Trump. This was logical decision for many of Trump voters.
It would be very helpful for the current US democratic party to understand why people voted from Trump without pinpointig it to racism and homophobia and other sins.
He was an outsider/wildcard/Maverick and perceived smart businessman so his promises to clean up the corruption seemed more plausible than the entrenched status quo.
Now that his lack of business acumen, lack of general intelligence, non-existent diplomacy, zero empathy, and pure personal greed mixed with nepotism and corruption has been laid bare, I understand those who plan to vote for him next time round very little except through the lens of identity politics and hate/racism/xenophobia/epistemonophobia.
If you understand that Trump is at the red/orange level of consciousness, and so is a huge chunk of the American population, it's obvious why they will vote for him.
The stage red / stage orange worldview is pretty clearly what conservative Americans operate on, (and many are very on stage blue also).
The majority of liberal Americans are operating on stages orange and green.
And these are still all tier 1 of 2 tiers in the model.
