    This prick has become on of the most dangerous people in the country. He’s eager to agree with any senseless right wing conspiracy theory and boosts them on his platform, responding with very thought-free one word replies like “yup”, “exactly”, “concerning” or “!!”. It doesn’t seem like he has the mental power or any desire to assess whether some claims are true, such as his assertion to Don Lemon that undocumented people being counted on the census unfairly boosted the representation numbers for California - totally ignoring that the same would be true for Texas and Florida, as if no immigrants live in “red” states. Same with the “Democrats are mass-importing voters!!”. I don’t think he even cares if this tripe is true, as long as he gets to slam Democrats and rile up conservatives. The panic he’s trying to inspire with the “illegals voting!!” BS is predicated on the assumption that immigrants would all vote for democrats, which isn’t even true.

          For the most part it has clean water, proper sewage, stable electricity, and is relatively disease free

          That puts it above a fair number of options

            Most other countries are pushing to improve things though. The states currently seems (from an outsider perspective) actively regressive, currently.

            Also the fact you say “for the most part”, speaks volumes.

    The problem is that, while it’s easily disproven, the majority of people who read his statement will take it at face value, and because his platform is so large, it would take a lot of people disproving his claim to have even a fraction of the same reach.

    People with appreciably large platforms or loud microphones can spread disinformation with no recourse, and there’s really no effective way to counter it. I don’t know what the solution to this is, but it’s a huge problem and has been for quite some time.
