77% of Americans think misinformation increases hate crimes and 73% think it increases extreme political views, according to a poll conducted by Pearson Institute/AP-NORC in September. Half of Americans think misinformation decreases “trust in government.”
Stacked bar charts from Pearson Institute/AP-NORC showing that “majorities think misinformation increases extreme political views and behaviors.”
So...half of those people vote Republicans who actively push disinformation? Is it because they want hate crimes and extremism?
