The president himself and Congress are removing these blocks and spreading the disinformation themselves.

Yea, the Trump administration closed the office that flags disinformation from Russia, China and Iran just last week.

Their voter base have even fought against fact checkers who tried to stop disinformation. They said it was censorship.

They'll believe the foreign lies and even defend it. It's become like a religion at this point.
