If they bought ads to slant an election what does this say about the people falling for it?

Also, this is just digital propaganda. The US gov. and media outlets do it too.

If it was under circumstances in which a typical person ought to have been able to avoid being shot, it would say a lot (not that that justifies the action of the shooter).
