I think most of what you're encountering and labeling as propaganda is more likely tongue in cheek skewering of the right. If you look at the motivations behind these posts, it's usually to bring attention and awareness to real issues. The right lies about stolen elections and voter fraud because they seek to disenfranchise voters and gain power. The left appeals to emotion sometimes too much, but their end goals are things like universal healthcare, less government spying, and more education.

The right similarly stokes fear and panic by demonizing vulnerable minority and immigrant populations, with the end goal of further entrenching their political power, so they can lower taxes on the rich, and raise them for the poor.

The right and left may both engage in sensationalized headlines and appeals to emotion, but they are not the same, you can tell by their end goals.

Who was in power when epstien "killed himself"? Why is ghislaine maxwell in a cushy minimum security prison? I'll give you a hint, the answer ain't the left.
