Study finds that Republicans swallow fake news more than Democrats

Both whites and blacks agree that anti-black racism has decreased over the last 60 years, according to the study. However, whites believe that anti-white racism has increased and is now a bigger problem than anti-black racism.

"It's a pretty surprising finding when you think of the wide range of disparities that still exist in society, most of which show black Americans with worse outcomes than whites in areas such as income, home ownership, health and employment," said Tufts Associate Professor of Psychology Samuel Sommers, Ph.D., co-author of "Whites See Racism as a Zero-sum Game that They Are Now Losing," which appears in the May 2011 issue of the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science.

He knew he wasn’t smart enough to con Democrats


He went where the suckers were


The Conable cons


fox had already primed them for extra stupid sauce level for decades


That was exactly why Nixon and Ailes planned a fox type station


Then the Republican Party had a pirate clown steal their base


And like the lie filled shit bags they are the republicans just hopped on board what they saw as the money train even though the conductor was a pirate clown

Can you imagine if Trump had fun as a Democrat? He never even would've sniffed the nomination.

And that's exactly why he switched parties. He believes in and stands for nothing other than self-promotion. The (D)s would have laughed him off the ballot -- despite the fact that for years he openly supported women's choice and other LW causes.

No...that would be the SELAZOCRATS ,WHO ENRICH THEMSELVES IN POLITICS...LIKE THE BIDENS.


Trump sacrificed his wealth to serve our country; the Bidens sacrificed ur country to build their wealth...and they aren't the only Sleazocrats of whom that is true, either.


The Sleazocrats have had Chinese spies as their chauffers and bedmates; Iranian spies as the House "IT guys", Uranium One, allowed the sale of guided missile tech to Red China...etc...etc...not even counting the Bidens

Apples and oranges. I am merely pointing out that even though my social media group is heavily left-biased, it is the RW ppl who tend to post more urban legend/debunked rumor type things. That isn't to say that lefties aren't guilty of that too. It's just that the RW "fake news" gets repeated far more often, despite the fact that most of the posts that I see are from LWers. As for pointing out false crap, I make no discrimination at all in countering it no matter who posts it.

here it is THIS is the recent study Thirty-seven percent (37%) of American Adults think most black Americans are racist, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Just 15% consider most white Americans racist, while 18% say the same of most Hispanic Americans. There is a huge ideological difference on this topic. Among conservative Americans, 49% consider most blacks racist, and only 12% see most whites that way. Among liberal voters, 27% see most white Americans as racist, and 21% say the same about black Americans.

Thank you for remembering that line



I told you that one years ago



You were hunting Rinos and spewing racism as a party when I told you that one

That you were like dinosaurs who had walked into a tar pit


Flailing away and sinking with no way to escape



It’s still true


The more you struggle the deeper you sink


Just give up and sink into the tar


Gulp that tar

And go under


You love that racist tar


Just lap it up


Help the world become become a better place


Your party serves nothing but racism


You even now hate corporations if they dont want racism


You have no fiscal policy anymore anyway


You gave it up for trumps whims

Gulp that tar


It’s best for everyone


Go full on racist


Stop pretending you are not racist



It’s the only thing you believe in now

A study released this week offers more evidence that “both-sidesism” does not belong in an honest discussion of fake news and propaganda in the U.S. People on the Right are simply more apt to fall for it than those on the Left, the research shows, and for a number or reasons.
Susceptibility to conspiracy theories and fake news has already been linked by researchers to people in minority groups and lower income brackets. And higher income, higher education levels, and whiteness have been linked to greater resistance to such beliefs. But linking the appetite for, and susceptibility to, fake news and propaganda to Republicanism has until now been elusive.
“We found some of it on both sides, on the left and the right,” says RAND researcher and report author Luke Matthews. “But we found more of it on the Trump voting Republican side.”
The researchers surveyed 1,333 Americans from a carefully balanced set of demographic groups from February 26 through March 13, 2019. Respondents who had internet access took an online survey; those who didn’t were provided a tablet computer on which to respond to questions.
RAND sat out to find what kinds of cognitive bias and reasoning functionality were most reliably associated with susceptibility to misinformation in different kinds of people.
“Cognitive biases” are “systematic patterns of deviation from norm and/or rationality in judgment,” says the Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology. RAND screened for a number of bias types, including “ingroup bias,” which refers to tendencies to lean toward beliefs favored by groups that share a “language, religion, or nationality.”
The researchers also looked for connections between people’s comfort level with numbers, or science, or “magical thinking” and the propensity for believing misinformation. As it turned out, Matthews tells me, it was the presence or absence of these reasoning abilities that provided the best predictors of people’s susceptibility to misinformation.
It found–not surprisingly–that people who demonstrated more numeric and scientific literacy, and less magical reasoning, were less likely to swallow misinformation and disinformation. And it found these people collected in certain demographic and political groups.
“Resistance to Truth Decay . . . was associated with having a higher income, identifying as White, voting for Clinton in 2016, and being less religious,” the report states. By “truth decay” RAND means, broadly, a willingness to believe falsehoods, and a resistance to authoritative sources of information such as scientists and other experts.
