Not by the people being influenced by them, unfortunately.

and they picked very proud people to influence, and that group... well... they'll burn it all down before they admit they're wrong

an event like this, how many does it convince? when a whole group's pride has prevented them from seeking knowledge

they think it's Biden's fault gas is expensive right now

The reason this type of psy-op works is because it feeds people what they already want to believe while energizing them into action about it. At best, if this pressure can stay up, the people gobbling up all the bullshit will lose steam without the constant feed of propaganda and stay home in November, but I'm not holding my breath.
