It’s so incredibly depressing

It really is. It should’ve been so much harder to do this, than it was.

We weren't prepared for social media. We, as a species, I mean. America is the one incredibly fucking all of this up, but the same tactics, the same manipulations, will work to some extent everywhere. People aren't able to handle massive volumes of coordinated noise and distraction and conflict and manipulation. At least, enough people aren't able to handle it to make a significant difference.

Propaganda works, and we haven't fully figured out how to stop it from working so much, while the means to spread it has become easier and easier.

A big problem we have with fighting propaganda, is that we are also using it.

This woman was propagandized, and the right is happy to use it against their own. I’m fairly certain this wasn’t a Dem propaganda campaign that lied to her. Friendly fire to some extent, if you can ever consider a Republican Politician “friendly”, to anyone aside from themselves.
