I don’t know if this will help, but the stupidity level is probably no worse than it’s ever been, it’s just a lot more visible now.
Most human beings have never paid much attention to the world outside of the little bubble they live in. But now that we have such a good communication network they’re able to get casual low-effort glimpses of the big world by glancing at a few memes or whatever, which they think makes them experts, and they broadcast their ignorance worldwide because they can. The ignorance was always there, just never this noticeable.

And boy are they angry about it.
