You're ignoring how social media has decentralized the misinformation. Anyone can start posting and people operate on such a purely emotional level, that facts really don't matter. If I was working foreign intelligence, trying to destroy the United States, I would do exactly what qanon is doing. I've been watching that shitshow spiral out of control in slow motion for the past 4 years and social media was an integral part. The way algorithms funnel people into information bubbles. How they engage by showing people inflammatory things. There are people in your neighborhood right now who literally think democrats worship satan and eat babies for power (which is what nazis said about the jews btw). They didnt catch that virus by watching TV news, or reading the paper; they learned it on social media.
