@KL-lt8rc You know, I shouldn't be doing this. It's just a bad habit on my part, started during the COVID shutdown last year. Trying to talk to people who lack a certain literary culture can never work.
But just this once, and never again, I will spell it out: yes, I do believe people are susceptible to propaganda. YOU are a perfect example. It has an effect on you.
Trump propaganda won't appeal to you, but, for example, Maddow's propaganda will, no matter how many of her claims are proven to be FALSE, and no matter that her own lawyers asserted in court, on the record, that Maddow never defamed anyone BECAUSE no reasonable person would ever believe that she was asserting facts. She is an entertainer, a polemicist. Her show, and all the other "the Russians did it!!!" nonsense, is propaganda you believe. That is because its tone and style appeal to you. It makes you feel smart.
So, yes, obviously, propaganda does have an effect. You are Exhibit A.

@KL-lt8rc Because it is NOT a fact that Russia helped Trump get elected. It is a meme broadcast and very nicely monetized by Maddow and her ilk. I didn't accuse you of watching her in particular. You don't have to watch a particular purveyor of a given propaganda narrative, or, in this case the leading one, to be influenced by them. Next time, don't start out by suggesting someone's English is flawed and you might not end up being embarrassed by them.
Think about what you're saying: there is absolutely no proof that "Russia helped Trump get elected," some of the finest journalists have systematically and thoroughly debunked particular stories to that effect, it has become the go-to smear, and it requires believing that millions of Americans were hopelessly duped, WHILE THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION looked on with its hands folded. At best, a person could say it is not impossible, and suspend judgment. But you insist it happened, and that someone who doesn't agree is triggered, or something. Sorry, that is pathetic.
Don't look now, but your country is close to unlivable. If I had younger generations here, I would not be sanguine.
