Russia is not alone in the use of misinformation. Just watch a few minutes of OAN News to see the alternative universe being put forth as reality.
Russia has many reasons to see the USA weakened and out of the leadership role. NATO for one. The Arctic circle is another less discussed one.

Indeed US fell asleep. It engendered the transfer of economic punch to China. This was a bipartisan effort.
Of course there is misinformation coming from all sources. However, the people are mainly energized by clear observable events, a chain of unfortunate police shootings, stagnation at the economic bottom and the fast disappearing middle, unaffordable health care, student loans, car loans, etc.
Easier to blame Russia.
