Well, that's certainly not reassuring, but it explains a lot.

Quote:Republicans were, though, more likely to believe Russian disinformation claims than their Democratic counterparts, with 57.6% falling for at least one Russian disinformation claim, compared with just 17.9% of Democrats and 29.5% of people who didn't identify with one particular party.

Bro... that's embarrassing...

Dems/liberals /lefties keep getting shamed for calling Republican voters stupid and then I see shit like this and I'm just like... what do people expect..? So embarrassing.

Edit to add: yeah, clearly it's not good that across the political aisle, all groups are susceptible to fall to disinformation. But the fact there is such a stark difference between the political groups itself is demoralizing. That one of the two major politicial parties is three times more likely than the other to fall for Russian disinformation, especially as entire states become more politically polarized, is really concerning.
