MUST READ!

Once the lies become our truth, we seek supporting information and defend our (false) truth even when clear evidence to the contrary is in our face.

The KGB is very experienced with this strategy and they are now using it to manipulate people in the US.

It’s a sucker’s game. In the eyes of the GOP and, sadly, most US media, simply voting for a Democrat means you’re an Elitist and thus must labor, usually futilely, to prove you’re not one.

This goes double if you vote Democrat and aren’t a white cis male.
To a lot of Americans, everyone who isn’t a white straight cis guy is an “elitist.”

Our culture *unquestionably accepts* it when millionaire MAGA dudes who own car dealerships claim THEY’RE not elite, but librarians who make $30K and listen to NPR
ARE “elite.”

We should stop accepting it.
the trump campaign was literally bought and paid for by the wealthiest people on the planet — openly! — and dim-witted pundits are going on about how voters are tired of "elitist democrats"

I will not ask you to look for any silver linings. I will not ask you to feel anything but grief right now. But what we do next is important.

We need a bipartisan commission formed to self regulate political misinformation. The FDA protects consumers by requiring truth in ads and labels. We need to protect consumers from misleading political ads and rhetoric.
