The Bernie Factor ... coincidence or not?

I keep wondering something. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or just anecdotal. But I remember the Facebook Bernie or Bust arguments. Why is it that every single person I argued with back then was susceptible to the anti-Hillary Russian propaganda? And why did every one of them become a MAGAt?

I’m sick of this line in particular: I voted for Obama! Hillary stole the nomination. Trump is the only one who came along to destroy the system!

That’s it in a nutshell. I’m nit starting this to drag out the old anti or pro Bernie arguments. I want to understand what it is about these types of people that makes them so susceptible to the bullshit and lies.
