Is that true or are you a victim of disinformation yourself? How do you know they would have lost had it not been for "engines of disinformation"? I'm not saying there wasn't disinformation used to promote them, but did they win because of it or despite it?
- pjc50 6y agoTrump's 4 year term is a convincing argument that people realised they'd been lied to. As is the rolling up of the people who stormed the capitol over disinformation.
- exporectomy 6y agoNot sure what you mean by that. I'm pointing out that we don't know either Trump or Brexit won because of disinformation, yet people keep saying they did. I think that's because they've been fooled by disinformation themselves. The news and social media gives them a general feeling of causation but in reality, it's just a correlation.
