(9,471 posts)That dempgraphic group seems to use Facebook the most. So I am still not super confident about that lead when you got Falun Gong already pouring more money into social media on behalf of Trump then all Democrats combined.
Many acquaintances from my younger years "liked" the Russian posts which targeted them. These women often aren't confident in their own ability to make a decision and believe the latest opinion they heard expressed with conviction.

(56,828 posts)trying to make ends meet, it could be difficult to focus on the news - you may have time to look at Facebook or Twitter or watch a few snippets of the evening news. In those cases, you've probably forgotten last week's Trump scandals and the scandals from last month and two months ago... but, you are barraged with Hillary's emails over and over. The media and Trump made a mountain out of a molehill sized scandal with her emails, while the daily mountains of scandals from Trump are put on the same footing.

(18,973 posts)That's the saying that Trumpsters believe. So when you say, "Trump lies" they answer, "Every politician lies." Or Trump is a sexual Predator , they say "other politicians were too."
They've just equated all lies the same and 1 lie as equal to 11,000 lies. It's been very effective for them.
