Extremely dangerous to assume that it only works on people with a medium level of intelligence -- unless you're accepting that you and I and nearly everyone else are of a medium level.
Propaganda is extremely sophisticated and works on everyone.
Nor is it only used to the benefit of fascists or others we disapprove of. It is woven into the fabric of all mass media. CNN, for example, is propaganda for the US military industrial complex and capitalist ways of thinking just about 24/7.
