from the study you linked:

"We found substantial differences in vulnerability to SEME among a number of different demographic groups (SI Text). Although the groups we examined were overlapping and somewhat arbitrary, if one were manipulating an election, information about such differences would have enormous practical value. For example, we found that self-labeled Republicans were more vulnerable to SEME (VMP = 54.4%; 95% CI, 45.2–63.5%; McNemar’s test, P < 0.001) than were self-labeled Democrats (VMP = 37.7%; 95% CI, 32.3–43.1%; McNemar’s test, P < 0.001) and that self-labeled divorcees were more vulnerable (VMP = 46.7%; 95% CI, 32.1–61.2%; McNemar’s test, P < 0.001) than were self-labeled married subjects (VMP = 32.4%; 95% CI, 26.8–38.1%; McNemar’s test, P < 0.001). Among the most vulnerable groups we identified were Moderate Republicans (VMP = 80.0%; 95% CI, 62.5–97.5%; McNemar’s test, P < 0.001), whereas among the least vulnerable groups were people who reported a household income of $40,000 to $49,999 (VMP = 22.5%; 95% CI, 13.8–31.1%; McNemar’s test, P < 0.001).

So, CRD, you're definitely in the most gullible demographic. Unless you're a lot less prosperous than you want us to believe.

FYI, if you actually know how to use a earch engine, you can pretty easily overcome the inevitable skewing caused by commercial interests optimizing their metadata to get them to the top, "reputation management" folks doing likewise to replace negative information with positive, hostile foreign nations using bots to maximize search engine placement of their propaganda, etc.

Bottom line: the gullible will get sucked in, one way or another. Gullibility is not a disqualifier for eligilibility to vote, not is it illegal to lie to voters or to manipulate them by playing to their paranoid fears and their racism. About 35% of the country has been sucked in by #45, and y'all still have the right to vote.
