Yes, Low Information Voters will believe that crap.
You are exactly right! The article’s authors may or may not actually believe what they have written but that isn’t the point. This is propaganda no different from any propaganda from any of history’s worst regimes. This is intended to agitate the ignorant. This is the kind of propaganda that is used to foment hatred and violence against Time’s opponents. Go into the archives of anti-semitic propaganda from 30s and 40s Germany—it is the same stuff. We have never experienced this in the US before. You have to look to history’s despotic regimes to learn about it—it can lead to terrible human cost.
