No...it doesn't point to a *deterioration in people's faith in institutions" like the article surmises.
It points to the fact that Right Wingers especially are so enshrined in the cult of Maple Maga that they've adopted the "Anything I don't agree with is rigged." Saying that it's about "faith in institutions" is disingenuous because they know damn well there was no rigging, but they learned from Trump that if you cry loud enough, people believe you.
One thing I hope this government does is go after weaponized disinformation. Force these shitty social media CEOs to moderate their content. Fuck Zuckface and Space Karen so hard.
The conservative platform and policy declaration should have been enough for people to vote against it. They're an absolute mess of contradictions with harmful ideas mixed in.
Funny that Conservatives more likely to claim misinformation, exactly the group most frequently (as of recent) subjected to incredible amount of misinformation (mainly from their own leaders). Unfortunately poll doesn't disclose what kind of disinformation did they perceive.
Just like Trump screeched rigged elections all the way up until he was 'elected' than suddenly quiet about it?
After he won in 2016 he still continued to claim the election was rigged against him.
I would bet the other quarter would be the most likely to be influenced by misinformation.
A good chunk of those influenced by misinformation seem to think everyone else is brainwashed.
We must demand that the Canadian government switch to Mastodon to avoid the biased algorithms.
My family brought up the "liberals canvassing prisoners" story that turned out to be bullshit during Easter. So I'm confident that it did.
I don't know why that would be a bad thing, anyway.
Every single Canadian (except governor general) is legally allowed to vote in all elections. And they have the same rights to information and access in that regard.
Exactly. If it weren't for all of the far right/russian propaganda, the Liberals would have gotten over 190 seats.
Misinformation prevented a Liberal majority IMO
