Republicans were, though, more likely to believe Russian disinformation claims than their Democratic counterparts, with 57.6% falling for at least one Russian disinformation claim, compared with just 17.9% of Democrats and 29.5% of people who didn’t identify with one particular party.

    Exactly. That’s why I highlighted that portion.

    ~60% vs ~20% is a staggering difference. This really shows the much bigger problem of how conservatives gain power. They use the large masses of unintelligent, manipulative gullible people to get votes, and enrich themselves.

    This is not freedom. This is not democracy. It’s psychopaths, controlling and keeping people stupid, so they can stay in power and wealth.

    Our system is so fucked.

      The funny thing is the electoral college was created to protect us from this, but it’s kinda the whole reason we’re where we are.

        Uh, no. The electoral college was created because the slavers wanted representation for their slaves without giving them the vote.

      Anyone who has ever talked to a Republican knows this. Whenever you point out half the bullshit coming out of their mouth has been debunked, they just spout some bullshit about the MSM and source being “biased”. Friend, reality is biased against your 🤡 ass.
