The issue is that educating people is not easy as it sounds. Also, if you’re rich, you can influence the people who vote.

Take Alex Jones as an example, he managed to convince someone to commit a crime. Look up Sandy Hook incident.

Also, Trump and Jan 6th.

You can see a pattern here. More resources means more influence thus manipulating people easily.
