Even mediocrity from the cons, while not great, would at least be a lot better than this.
These people all seem to be some of the most maliciously stupid and/or unqualified that they could find. If they have any capability, it’s put to the task of carrying out evil: shitheel psychopaths like Vought and Miller as a for-instance.
When they don’t even have any capability they end up like Brainwormz here. A guy who is supposed to be looking out for health who looks and sounds terrible, has strange hobbies (dead whale heads, anyone? How about a bear carcass?) and even stranger beliefs - who needs that germ theory of disease, amirite - and says absolutely crazy shit - he can spot mitochondrial damage, talks about the “vaccine injured”, yells at reporter that she is not a scientist when he obviously has net negative credentials, and blurts out shit about chemtrails.
At least someone who was mediocre would probably tend to just agree with experts, vs. think they know better.

In my life, I have found that, the more ignorant someone is, the deeper their malice can get. We should really live in a society where being ignorant is as shameful as pooping your pants in public
I would think an awful lot would change if the business model around most media (news, movies, TV) were different.
But, as it is, I think most media really tip-toes around things that may make the ignorant uncomfortable, since they want to sell soap and boner pills to those people as well. Zeus forbid those people were to be told their beliefs were wrong.
You are still clinging to the idea that there is a plan here and it is not just a display on how mediocrity took over
