It’s always been the case that propaganda only works on the target audience. Thats why it’s so interesting to look through historical propaganda - it seems unreal and is easy to see through. Bots are just personalized propaganda machines.
Everyone is the target audience. All humans easily slip into bias and system 1 thinking. Read up on dual processing model. Nobody is entirely above propaganda.
