DISINFO: Democrats are trying to destroy Trump and incite a civil war

SUMMARY

American radicals encourage black people to fight for privileges so that they oppose equal opportunities and argue against the equality of all before the law. The Democrats are trying to direct these sentiments against Trump in order to dump him. Dumping Trump is more important to them than saving the country. Now a little more than a third of the potential participants in the US elections, and these are the most active and conscious, believe that in the next five years, America will survive another civil war. 34%, according to the credible pollster Rasmussen.

RESPONSE

The statement that "moreover, the Democrats are trying to direct these sentiments against Trump", because "dumping Trump is more important to them than saving the country" is a conspiracy. The disinformation report pretends that "radicals" (in plural) encourage black people to commit violence: only one controversial opinion is quoted to support this claim and no supportive evidence on democrats supporting violence is given at all. As for high expectations of another Civil War, the pollster Rassmussenreport is quoted by Vesti Nedeli as "credible" in that respect. But in the US, this pollster is considered as a right-wing polling company. "Rasmussen Reports uses research techniques that make its polls favour Republicans", Ipsos Public Affairs research director Mallory Newall said. No additional polls are given in support of such a huge claim. At the same time, predictions about a new American civil war and the disintegration of the US have been a common narrative in the pro Kremlin media since the fall of the Soviet Union. See a similar narrative that the US is falling apart. See more conspiracy narratives on US racial justice protests.
