This paper is interesting. It discusses the demographics of those who most frequently engage in disseminating disinformation, and identifies that there are three primary states in which this activity is centered, and that those who engage in that activity skew towards "older republican women who are marginally wealthier than their neighbors" - which suggests summat for me and likely for anyone else who's had to endure small-town politics and the petit aristocracy therein.
