Conservatives Bombarded With Facebook Misinformation Far More Than Liberals In 2020 Election, Study Suggests::Misinformation thrived in conservative echo chambers—but there were no liberal equivalents, according to the findings.
“Misinformation.”
No, call it what it is: propaganda.
This is about as trite as you can get. Has anyone ever suggested the converse?
People do suggest there are liberal echo chambers, and there are conspiracy theories that liberals are brainwashed. Not sure if that’s the same. Right now the stuff I could see misinformation against liberals could do might not be that useful to anyone inclined to push misinformation. I guess democrats are just generally less in lockstep anyway so you’re picking one or another fringe but maybe not enough to accomplish much.
The only thing currently uniting liberals that’s not probably just how the world is might be just DEI stuff, which I don’t actually think is that disruptive yet.
What would a liberal echo chamber even look like anyway?
From everything I’ve seen and experienced, liberals mostly take things with a grain of salt and will gladly criticize their leaders’ flaws. But conservatives on the other hand are pretty much universally riled up against Trudeau like he’s the coming of satan.
Liberals tend to share ideologies, conservatives tend to share their hate for anything liberal and “woke”. Only the latter makes it easy to develop an echo chamber.
I don’t see anyone being a complete Trudeau fan, or a Biden fan in the south. But what you do see in the south is people still being Trump diehards 3 indictments and several felony charges in, and calling the DOJ and FBI corrupt for attacking their dear leader. If the FBI finds dirt on democrats/Biden, the voters will happily get rid of Biden and replace him with someone less corrupt. Conservative ideologies are a lot more in the vibe of the goal justify the means, any means to get what they want.
One side tries to find solutions with varying degrees of success, the other focuses on outrage and criticizing the situation without really offering solutions or just ignore the problems in the name of not being inconvenienced.
In other news wather is wet.
Been seing lots of ralying post latelly whit the us vs them mentality, looks like its working though so congrats to yah feds. Divide and conquer is as old as warfare itself isnt it?
The reason is simple. Misinformation sticks with conservatives more than liberals. With liberals, someone posts evidence that the story isn’t true and the whole thing fizzles out. If someone tries posting counter evidence in a conservative forum, they get banned.
There’s no money in trying to push misinformation to liberals.
