    You’re talking about a time when the internet didn’t exist. Your points are valid but so are the other person’s who are focusing on more recent data.

      With the Internet there’s all the more reasons why people will remember it for longer.

      We need to realize that the scale might be different, but disinformation and propaganda in mass media was very much a thing a hundred years ago!

        I think it’s less access to information, it’s more about being bombarded with information that you can’t remember everything, and you can easily forget things you already know or confuse that memory with another misinformation that was repeated many times.

        Again, recent examples have shown that people easily forgot how bad Trump’s first term was, and it has nothing to do with not having access to said information.

        Yup. It was radios, news papers, pamphlets, people travelling giving speeches, etc.

        Disinformation and propaganda has been around for centuries.
