Joshua HollandI knew from the beginning that the story of homeless vets being kicked out of a hotel to make room for asylum-seekers was bullshit, as everyone else should have.
I wonder if the folks who fell for it have ever been to America.
Rejin@JoshuaHolland And a lot of the people who were eager to believe this bullshit will never believe that it was false. The damage is done.
@rejinl Depending on where they get their news, they may never even hear about it.
ghost ermine 🇵🇸🇹🇱🇺🇦@JoshuaHolland It doesn’t matter if the claim is false. What matters is gaining a few more hardcore nutters who will believe it, no matter how much it is debunked, and that’s the whole point.

Which is why media literacy is so important in what has turned into an age of disinformation.
Not that there hasn't always been disinformation, it just seems that it spreads faster than respiratory disease at a Trump rally nowadays.
VHaschThe people who "fell for it" wanted it to be true. It just gave them a focal point for their irrational fears and anger.
