Yah but it is true that the average human has difficulty understanding things beyond a certain complexity, with many of the th Things in politics and economics passing that threshold. That’s why we simplify things so much, it allows people to understand certain complex things just enough to use that knowledge to a certain extent. Unfortunately simplification means some information is lost, and it doesn’t work with more complex concepts, meaning that what the general populace can understand is…limited. It doesn’t help that many people have difficulty not thinking in absolutes. they often think in terms of yes and no, 1 and 0, one or the other. I mean look at things like political parties, a majority of people think in terms of left or right, they don’t realize it’s a spectrum, in that some people might be more “right” or “left” than others, and that’s if you’re still thinking in terms of just right and left since the political spectrum has many more “directions” to it

I find it really disingenuous to assume the majority of the population is completely unable of understanding complex things. If they couldn’t, then we wouldn’t have a complex government. We wouldn’t be a modern civilization. The more advanced you get, the more complex things become.
I know it’s supposed to be slander, or even parody, but I can’t help but laugh at political cartoons because they try to simplify things. You don’t simplify complex systems, like politics. You make it easy for the general population to understand.
