This is simply a false dichotomy.

Being propagandized into extremism does not require anyone to be a total idiot.

Everyone is susceptible to propaganda and populism.

FWIW, I'd count that as a subset of "maybe actually half the country has a totally different worldview".

Subset, propaganda is not strictly required for most of it, only for why e.g. Jan 6 didn't disqualify him.
