A non-trivial number -- perhaps a few percent of my friends seem to have changed their behavior in response to what, in retrospect, look like Russian PSYOPs.
Why, do you think none of your friends were impacted?
- diggernet 9y agoI was curious what the experience of others was on this. In my own experience, everyone I know who makes their politics known (obviously, selection bias) has been immovably in one camp or another.
- SomeStupidPoint 9y agoI didn't watch anyone switch camps, but I watched a lot of people get motivated or demotivated to vote, which has the same effect on the election -- so I saw a lot of people go from "party candidate" to "none" or "none" to "party-candidate". Considering how close the election was, those kinds of changes seem non-trivial on a national stage, particularly if they're all in a direction that benefits one candidate over another (and likely were the intended ones from PSYOPs campaigns).
