> Almost nobody applies critical thought to politics

Including you. This is a 3000 year old critique you just uncritically parroted. It is the the original thought terminating cliche. People have always been calling each other ideologically brainwashed NPCs and themselves independent maverick free thinkers.

Except my thoughts are original and critical, everyone else is just a sheep. /s

No doubt I have some of that but I at least try to be objective. I often come up with what I think are my own political ideas (no doubt influenced by society) and they sometimes turn out to be wrong but I'm proud of myself for getting there without having them spoon-fed to me and for changing them as I learn more.
