Reminder that US adult literacy is at 79%.
The threshold for literacy is a 4th grade reading level, which means that they passed the 3rd grade. (9-10 years old)
So arguing with, or trying to correct some people who have fallen for disinformation will not help, because they can’t understand you, or they can't check the sources.
The first step in combatting disinformation is teaching people how to read. How? Well, most free adult literacy programs are run by libraries, so donate to your local library!
