So, from that article...

"British researchers from Oxford University have proved definitively that Trump supporters share more "junk" political news over Twitter and Facebook "than all other groups combined"

And here's the thing many of those "junk stories" designed to explode on social media come from the Russians. The Brits know all about this.

So, what's happening here are these angry Red State voters are literally being conned by Russian propaganda and are taking part in spreading it. The claim here is that Putin loves this stuff and it is also amazingly cheap for the Russians to conduct this sort of operation using bots and paid trolls to spread these stories. The sad thing is our president actually...and I can't really say if he knows he is doing this for Putin...participates in this garbage and has posted false "hate" videos on his twitter feed with the idea of generating hate and violence toward Muslims.

Also people like Hannity, Breitbart, Alex Jones, and FOX news are all in on this. So, basically all working as a Russian propaganda machine. More disturbing to me though are the actual elected politicians that are taking part in this. I don't know again if they know they are doing Putin's work for him or they just think stirring rage and ignorance in their voters just works.

Clinton, Obama, liberal, Make America Great Again, fake news, guns, Deep State, these people are fully "brainwashed" to react to these words...and to repeat them over and over again.

It is now a difficult thing to get past their "programming" to have an actual conversation.

So, it does work...are they really "unreachable" though? I don't know.
