It's about POWER

No it’s a known tactic. Basically if you are stupid enough to believe a Nigerian prince who speaks only in allcaps and can’t use spell check desperately needs your help smuggling millions of dollars out of the country, then you are the mark for them.

When somebody sincerely tries to figure out what’s true, and fails, that’s being dumb.

And when somebody knows the truth and lies about it, that’s gaslighting, I guess.

But I think most Republican voters are not being dumb, because they’re not trying to understand the truth and failing, and they’re not lying, because they never took the trouble to understand the truth so they could lie about it. They just DON’T CARE about what is true, about what sources of information are reliable, as long as white men stay on top and people they don’t like get punished.
