Even if you wanna blame propaganda, FOX news has a far wider reach and influence over the American electorate than facebook posts ever could.
Even then, you can only blame it so much. Propaganda does not reprogram people like they’re machines. There is no wizard waving a wand to make your uncle racist. Propaganda gives people the encouragement/excuse to do and say what they already wanted to do and say. It works on people who are already predisposed to reactionary thinking.
