WE are not immune to #RightWing#Disinformation... far beyond FOX & FB, there's a more subtle "issues influence" strategy spread through several channels... including MSM.

Ginni did not make a mistake, an error in judgement... what's occurred the last four yrs. & the events this week were carefully planned & a multi pronged, nationwide strategy employed... the legal challenges, astroturf protest groups #ALEC lobbying
Ginni & her fellow #CouncilForNationalPolicy#KochNetwork members ALSO have plans to rewrite the Constitution. That's been in the works for yrs. and they are closer to it than most people realize (or will admit)
