I think you're missing part of the point -- which is that people are also too dumb to realize they are killing themselves as well, not just their leaders are killing them .. Think about what people are thinking regarding healthcare and tax code reform and jobs and tarrifs .. It's not hard to understand really, but some people just don't seem to get it.
It's called Hanlon's Razor:
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"
