A third of Americans have fallen for Russian disinformation -- and for other false online claims.

Republicans were, though, more likely to believe Russian disinformation claims than their Democratic counterparts, with 57.6% falling for at least one Russian disinformation claim, compared with just 17.9% of Democrats and 29.5% of people who didn't identify with one particular party.

Because MAGAts are poorly educated. America itself is dumber and dumber because of social media, reliance on bad info and lack of critical thinking skills.

A quarter believed, for example, that up to half the U.S. aid money given to Ukraine was stolen by Ukrainian officials for personal use. More than half incorrectly thought that Ukraine sold Hamas weapons that had been donated by the U.S.

The orc-loving MAGA dumfux on this site repeatedly make these claims.

"As CSIS has reported before, "aid to Ukraine" is a misnomer because 90 percent of military aid is spent in the United States. Of aid overall, 60 percent is spent in the United States, about 25 percent is spent in Ukraine, and the final 15 percent is spent globally."

Those are rookie numbers. 10 in 10 Democrats believed in the hooker pee tape being real, that Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation, and that Trump Tower was communicating with a Russian bank. All fake stories and not only did they believe it at the time, 9 in 10 still believe it to this day after all of them have been completely debunked.
