GoofyHoofy: Is this some cynical “they’ll believe anything we tell them” thing?

Yes, exactly. And because it works.

Did you see the Elon Musk tweet of a Photoshopped president Biden placing a Presidential Medal of Freedom around the neck of Jhoan Boada, the man falsely accused of participating in the NY Times Square attack on the two police officers? That tweet now has 34.7 million views.

And you don't need "most people" to believe these lies, just enough to think "Biden is soft on immigration and we're all in danger because of him" and that's enough to make a difference in swing states.
