The thing is that not everyone knew.

You have to remember that many of these people grew up in what's basically a cult. They were brainwashed to believe that everything that didn't come out of Fox News was a lie from the enemy who wants to destroy them.

Critical thinking and questioning authority were actively punished.

It's easy to assume that everyone is as informed on politics as you are, but besides the above, many people just don't care enough to keep up to date with it.
