The roughly 110 to 120 IQs are the ones who make up the administrative state and the management apparatus. These midwits, the Professional Managerial Class, are always true believers, flag bearers of the empire ideology.
The top 5% don't believe, but they push the message because the true purpose of any empire ideology is to serve the elite.
The 90-110 IQs are the PMCs natural enemy, they represent a commonsensical challenge to the dogma.
Which is why the apparatchiks are hateful of the working classes. They want them to suffer, demoralized, on the brink of breaking; with just enough purpose to continue making their artisan shoes and cakes, but not enough to object or resist.
The most urgent purpose of propaganda is to pacify the plurality. They need them isolated, feeling defeated, disorganized, drugged up and drunk.
They need to normalize the negative externalities of the empire ideology that are seeping in all around them, to keep them pacified on their walk to the abattoir. It is for these people that the party's final, most essential command exists: make them reject the evidence of their eyes and ears.
The lower IQs are the PMC's weapons, which they rile up and pacify at will to whip the middle, and otherwise to mindlessly but diligently drone the fields. The secondary purpose of propaganda is to keep these resentful, hateful, sadistic, and ready to storm the streets.
Until recently, absolutely. Ranks are being filled with DEI hires but historically it's the master degrees who have been the PMC, and these people absolutely have IQs in that range.
Smart enough to intuit that complex forces are at work, but not smart enough to understand what, or to accept uncertainty. Too intelligent to not be drawn towards abstract explanations, not intelligent enough to see through the traps, inconsistencies, and lies of the ideology.
This is why we have a clergy class in the first place. Their middling IQs is what defines them. Their midwittery is the very thing that makes them so susceptible to ideological capture.

No. Really not even close.
Other than that, you're mostly right.

Smart enough to get yourself in trouble, but not smart enough to get yourself out of it. Makes sense.
