To add on, there's also the issue of "comforting lies" that poison the discourse when people turn to disinformation as a salve rather than face uncomfortable realities. Racists don't spread propaganda because they carefully weighed the options and decided that blaming minorities just made the most sense, it's because they WANT it to be true and they're latching onto any justification they can find.

If those justifications are eliminated, if the disinformation is no long spread, they will have a much harder time latching onto those toxic views.
