When @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris peacefully transition to power on January 20, Trump will remain the real fake president* on Fox and in various private groups on Facebook, his and their relevancy blowing in the wind.
“Shambling mass of lies and deranged conspiracy theories.”-@MattGertz
I get misty when I read the words a gentleman from the UK wrote when he signed my @MoveOn petition to investigate Trump’s digital campaign “Project Alamo” and Cambridge Analytica nearly three and a half years ago.
His words so powerful, fueled by what he was witnessing at home.
His words are prescient and haunting:
“This is about transparency in democracy, political integrity and the future direction of our world and society...
“A political electoral system that is maintained by lies and misinformation to retain power without having the courage to stand up to scrutiny regarding it's claims is an abhorrence which must be nipped in the bud...”
MY PRESIDENT💜—Josesh Biden, eager to elevate climate change issues throughout his administration, is drafting orders to reduce planet-warming pollution and seeking nominees who will embed climate policy in environmental agencies and other depts.”-@nytimes nytimes.com/2020/11/17/cli…
Together @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris can work on key issues—like saving our planet and creating a sustainable world for all living things.
FEAR PEDDLERS: “If you’re wondering why British political discourse began to degrade, look no further than the arrival of American right-wing conservatism via both the funding of activists and new media outlets which propagated their message.”-@peterjukes bylinetimes.com/2020/11/17/cit…
BANNON🤡+MERCER🧟:
“UK’s culture wars were triggered by a US Supreme Court ruling over free speech. Free speech was the wedge by which formerly marginal expressions of xenophobic nationalism, racism, and Islamophobia could become central in Britain’s public debate.”-@peterjukes
CAMBRIDGE DATA CRIMES: “It didn’t matter if many voices expressing these opinions online were paid for by multiple accounts, boosted by dark digital analytics, or indeed often outright replicants run by troll farms hosted and funded by hostile foreign countries.”-@peterjukes
Raging against the Twitter machine for the past four years—pushing truth in a time of mass deception, smoking out those perpetuating crimes against humanity—it doesn’t end here.
We’re going to need a social movement combined with the power of the military to beat back the evil.
Countries like Sweden, Denmark, and Finland are already beating disinformation. Government programs and well-educated citizens give each a fighting chance.
