Can't even say I'm surprised.
Just my own experience has been well intentioned older women sharing, linking,tweeting absolute nonsense as if it was legitimate news. Everything from flat earth, Med-beds,images of weather radar bursts labeled "secret govt weapon!" Q, pizza-gate, the list never ends.
The part I find very troubling is once I fact check & make sure the person knows they were taken for a ride (so to speak) they're right back at it the next day! Despite the fact they KNOW how to fact check!! Even sadder these are personal friends of mine.
Keeping friendships has been difficult.
