This is not a defense of Ted Cruz. He's clearly a zionist. But the fact people will believe anything without doing an ounce of research says a lot about how dumbed-down society is. This is shit we expect to see from leftists, but many on the so-called "right" are just as guilty of believing anything so long as it confirms their bias.
Link to the twitter account where its bio makes it clear that its satire: https://xcancel.com/rtnewsamerica

I had to click on the "Load More" button about 6 times before finding a comment that pointed out that it was fake news.
Normal people will believe things that are pretty possible. I don't see how this fake could be wrong or impossible. If some person constantly shit his pants, then there is nothing strange that most will believe when hear "he shit his pants again", even if it is not true for that moment.
It is all about patterns and all that stuff. That's not a bad thing, really, that means people still could see patterns and correctly extrapolate them.
Also, It's not a rare thing today when yesterday's joke of BabylonBee or similar outlet is not a joke anymore.
a) People know the Babylon Bee is satire. People think this is true.
b) If you're trying to win an information war, spreading lies will just make you look like a retard and untrustworthy. It will be used by your enemies to win support from undecided, open-minded people and erode faith and trust that people have in you. Exposing the lies and fake news of the left is how many people learned to distrust them.
That's not the case when some BB joke spreads through social networks without proper credits. When the joke become reality, nobody cares that BB is satire. They just correctly saw the pattern.
Information war is by itself is an attempt to break the pattern recoginition abilities of public.
Information war is a war against own population, not against real enemy. Those who run information war don't care about enemy, they care only about their own herd, to keep them obedient.
People distrust them because their narratives does not agree with reality they see around.
Exposing lies will work only if this lies doesn't fit reality.
In the OP case lie is perfectly aligned with reality, it is perfectly possible, and noone could guarantee that this lie will not become undeniable truth tomorrow.
So, there is no any problems with people who believe OP fake. But there is definitely a problem with jewish parasite state and its slave administrations around the world.
Funny that this fake twitter account @RTNewsAmerica, tried to get the opposite effect, like "look what insane shit that bad antisemites could believe". But, suddenly, this made up "insane shit" turn out to be pretty sane and not only perfectly possible, but highly probable.
There is nothing to blame people from OP title for. Moreover, it will be wise to try to do something to prevent this.
The only moron here is @RTNewsAmerica, nobody else.
This is becoming long-winded so I'm gonna just respond to one thing and try to keep it short.
The problem is that the joke hasn't become reality and people believe that it is true. When that happens, you lose all credibility and look like a retard and untrustworthy.
Look, I believe that the The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is accurate despite the fact that it is not based on a true event.
The same is true for this fake quote from Trump despite knowing that he never said that.
But the difference is that I know it's not based on something true and I also know that it has to be validated for me to go around telling other people that it's accurate because, otherwise, I'm no different than the retarded liars that I claim to be against. And, if you're trying to win an information war, credibility matters.
