Here's How Your Q-Loving Relatives React To Fact Checking
Anything that contradicts what they're told is all part of the plot.
FB is their main source of belief re-enforcement.
CNN did an investigation into the closed circle of Trump-driven disinformation, and it's hard to see how to get through to these people.
"What are the results of the deliberate misinformation campaigns being staged by President Trump and his campaign? What are Trump supporters voters actually hearing? Well, really for the first time, now we know. CNN's Donie O'Sullivan spent time at a Trump event and heard some just amazing things."
And boy, he sure did.
TRUMP SUPPORTER: When people say it's fact checked, it's wrong because it's taken out of context. Like when Joe Biden fell asleep during a live interview on television.
REPORTER: Claimed that he fell asleep -- I think that was an edited one, right?
SUPPORTER: I didn't think it was -- it looked pretty live to me with no cuts in it.

(26,044 posts)...is it any surprise that the same people who seriously believed that Bat Boy had escaped from a top-secret government lab or that Satan's face was seen in the smoke on 9/11 are ready to embrace whatever Twitler and his followers tell them? They've been trained to believe that, the more lurid and improbable the story, the more likely it is to be true.
