        I mean that it’s a believable occurrence. People only read headlines and skim articles.

        I’m just saying they’re better at it.

          This sort of campaign isn’t designed to sway your average undecided Joe.

          It’s meant to reinforce the indoctrination of those already mildly radicalised, pushing them to the extreme. They will inevitably pull along some other inbred imbeciles along with them, and if they’re extremist enough and numerous enough, something like the invasion of the capitol would have worked.

          Note: it’s not only morons who get swayed. Elderly folk are especially vulnerable to this sort of explosive statements, they have a tendency to believe what they read or see (on TV or other platforms) disregarding their own better judgement…
