"The more extreme we become, the more people believe it," Blair replied.


"No matter how racist, how bigoted, how offensive, how obviously fake we get, people keep coming back," Blair once wrote, on his own personal Facebook page. "Where is the edge? Is there ever a point where people realise they're being fed garbage and decide to return to reality?"

極端になればなるほど、人間って信じやすいんだよ、と。

どんなに人種差別的でも、不快であっても、明らかに嘘であっても、なんどでも騙されるんだ、ゴミ情報にいっぱい食わされていると気づいて現実に戻る限界点はないのかね？と。

The site is a carefully curated social experiment, Blair said, designed to "feed the Hoverounders their daily need for hate and their undying urge to blame everything in the known universe on Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama."

The website does make clear its true purpose, saying it "is a satirical publication that uses the imagination of liberals to expose the extreme bigotry and hate and subsequent blind gullibility that festers in right-wing nutjobs."

　フェークニュース発信して、騙されたトランプ支持者を茶化している、というわけでしょうね。

　ーーーーどんなに人種差別的でも、信じる人はいる、というのは、人種差別的だから、信じる人はいる、ということの裏返しで、自分が信じていることを補強をしてくれる”説”や”報道”に飛びつくのでしょうね。
