Not by the people who need to UNDERSTAND it.

They hear it, the dismiss it a left propaganda, but now they can't find it. It not on every algorithmicly currate rage Facebook post...did the world just get less apocalyptic overnight... No that cant be the case cause there are still Democrats out there... What else could it be ?

The thing is, it's not just catering to a specific group of politics. You're so close to understanding it yourself.

This kind of manipulation isn't about left vs right or Republican vs Democrat. It's everybody on Russia's radar being pitted against each other. All sides are getting whipped up. You're not immune, nor are the causes you agree with automatically unaffected.

This both siding shit is retarded, man.

Democrats have been trying to be progressive. These bots are hitting the most easily manipulated people: republicans.

It is true Dems can be manipulated but they are being manipulated towards progress. Which is innately good.

>Academic consensus heavily points to an asymmetry, indicating that Republicans are generally more susceptible to political misinformation and share it more frequently than Democrats.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say progress should probably involve not using the R-word

Idc. Words are only weaponized by weak minds who let it hurt them.

I’m deaf. You think I’ve had it easy with slurs? Idc about them.

It’s ok to recognize that you’re emotionally weak.

What? I just saw this now, was there a message I missed or something? I really don't understand your edit, I was just asking a question about a language I don't know. If that hit a nerve please accept my apology as it was not my intent to antagonize or frustrate you.
