Of course it's working. Trump supporters are completely detached from any form of objective verifiable reality... And they violently hate every single person who still clings to things like facts or equality. 

Don't take my word for it; go to the conservative sub and see for yourself.

Social media influencers didn't take long to figure out that those people are easy as hell to grift and that they have no expectation of integrity or substance, so they're completely free to just make up whatever crazy shit they want, knowing full well that none of the social media platforms will ever intercede on behalf of the truth or basic morality. 

Now understand that these chronically online people are spreading their nonsense everywhere at fifty times the rate that the truth can disseminate. Modern news media is lazy as hell with half of them picking up stories pretty much exclusively based on what's trending on social media - and now grasp, if you can, how everyone who isn't spending 24/7 immersed in politics doesn't even know what to believe anymore.

Basically what I'm saying is that there's a systemic issue that anyone with more than two brain cells and a conscience is on the losing side of. This sub has historically liked to believe that truth, justice and human decency will ultimately win the day... But that is not what I've seen in the years I've been paying attention to politics. Shit is getting worse and there is a very real chance Trump will win in November because your version of "worse" is becoming the American standard for "winning".

That's my Ted Talk.
