It’s a constant problem on the fediverse, if you search for things like lemmy.ml and CCP, propaganda, censoring etc it’ll get you started.

Hi friend, I’m Bob from Ohio (or maybe Florida!). Anyway, I promise there’s nothing to worry about… other than the billions of human flesh eating illegal immigrants flooding across the border to torture your family for their sadistic pleasure. Just vote for Trump and everything will be fine!

Authoritarian governments have a huge advantage when it comes to malicious propaganda. So much less oversight.

Yeah, I think other factors help them do it. A lot of their propaganda is designed to support political extremes that already exist.
