What is the magic event that will open their eyes? What are the magic words that will allow them to see the real world?
I spent some time with out-of-state relatives these past 2 weeks. They have almost no knowledge of world events, and limited knowledge of national events. They never watch media, and they never real about events that don't impact them direct.y. They have their own problems to worry about, and those problems consume their waking lives. In one sense, theirs is an enviable existence, unclouded by useless information that, on balance, would serve only to make them more worried and more anxious than they already are. But, as we who are here know, that kind of ignorance will likely leave them more than bewildered if/when the tragic events that are planned for us come into their lives. We here may be mentally and physically prepared, as best we can be, but those whose heads are in the sand will be hurt the most, and will suffer greater tragedies than we will.

Swallowing the products of the mass media would certainly make me "more worried and more anxious". I recommend getting better drugs.
So do I. But, as they say, you can lead a horse to water, but . . .
