They consider themselves unwitting dupes. They're either complicit or the dumbest bastards on "X" (YouTube already tossed them - Elmo hasn't touched them despite pledging to ban known Russian propagandists).

she told me back in April that the "Haitian immigrants are eating the ducks from the city ponds and rivers."

I remember when Vietnamese refugees came back in 70's and 80's that my mother-in-law in Pensacola, FL insisted that they were eating pet cats and dogs.

There was a huge rumor in our town that the local Mexican restaurant used road kill for the restaurant.
