This is why I’m inclined to have State compacts go their own ways. Deprogramming the cult behavior of these people will be too hard to do. Let them get sick and tired of being sick and tired.
The State abrogating its responsibility of educating its citizenry who will be voting (i.e., making education accessible…) is one of the design flaws of US representational democracy that I list in this post (link) Jefferson had realized that and it was a reason he had started the University of Virginia, as a model for accessible education (it didn’t work out at the scale he had hoped, though…)
Progressive democracies who provide access to education don’t worry much about disinforming Russian websites; they know most educated people will only laugh at their fraudulence…
