Some of us do seem to be immune to the propaganda, though. I’ve heard so much anti-union propaganda. I’ve heard so much anti-Socialist rhetoric, anti-woke bullshit, etc. I was educated and employed in a red state.

There is a lot more to it than just propaganda. I would say that tribalism plays a larger role. When someone is born into a conservative family, surrounded by conservative citizens, it becomes a lot easier to just agree with the status quo in the area to fit in. I can tell you, from my experience, that I was not very popular in school, due to being a dirty leftist with empathy.
I will say that my immediate family is not religious, not conservative, and they are very open minded, loving and empathetic people. This is probably the main reason I was immune to the propaganda.

The first step to falling for the propaganda is believing that you’re immune to the propaganda.
