The reason russian propaganda works so well is that they appeal to racists. Mrdude spelled it out a couple posts back.Listening to Americans decry propaganda as if they wrote the book. The reason the Russian propaganda works is because of the gems of truth that it contains. The appearance of choosing affirmative action over loyalty is so easy to frame because very few words are needed to spell it out. Russia going ham on it is entirely unsurprising. American propaganda *often works like this: take an inconvenient fact, have someone you don't like say it; voila, no more inconvenient fact.
"Surely the only reason they traded to liberate this American citizen that most believe is being unjustly held is because she is a black woman. Look at her, she's such a dangerous drug trafficker with that enormous supply of a harmless drug in that little vape pen. This is obviously a bias against oppressed white men."
Its so stupid. Anyone that believes this is both a racist and projecting their racism. Literally no one else cares about her race or gender. Only that she was serving a decade by an enemy country for a minor crime.
