1. The body politic has been flipped. Using false & divisive narratives, Russians, Cambridge Analytica-type operations & media like Fox, Limbaugh, Alex Jones & Nat'l Enquirer engage our least educated voters & manipulate them 4 profit, politics & assaults on our democracy.
2. During the last decade user friendly social media platforms like fb & twitter on smart phones have made it possible 4 least educated to engage each other 4 first time & create & empower a huge community. Anti-democ forces have seized the opp to manipulate their new community.
3. Our battle is not with least educated voters but, rather, against these antidemocratic forces that are engaging least educated voters everyday on broadcast, print & social media with lies, false conspiracies, hate speech & divisiveness.
4. Who imagined our least educated voters would connect to form a huge online community where they, and those who seek to manipulate them, can share conspiracy baloney & other false narratives in an empowering echo chamber environment? Not a sci-fi dystopian plot, this is real!
