Let's not forget that hired bomb throwers like Steve Bannon methodically and profitably injected, supported and published narratives of divisiveness, violence, hate, deceit and prejudice via paid agent provocateurs into the Trump election campaign.
Bannon was paid to to generate anger amongst targeted groups using data analysis, social media and ads to further inflame and spread that false incitement via Cambridge Analytica. Exactly how SCL and other paid propagandists queer elections in the third world. And it continues. 
The use of disinformation, propaganda, psyops is still not fully understood by the most of the media or the public because it is a proven strategy that embraces the art of deceit, big data, psychographic trigger points and stages o create a desired end state in populations.
Often called the "dark arts", it is a science that uses emotions, weaknesses and blind spots in humans to achieve effect in what is a uneven playing field created by social media, algorithms and low voter turnout. Anger, fear, hate and suspicions populate the emotional tool box.
Germany, Italy, Russia and China along with many post colonial nations know the effect of trusting ill intentioned ideologies and rigged electoral systems.
ideologues need bomb throwers and bomb throwers need ideologues.
