    Well placed memes? There has been a massive, concerted effort to disrupt US politicsl perception since the 2000s, and only succeeded because tech billionaires were willing to play ball.

      It’s crazy how people keep ignoring the troll issues and it’s driving me insane.

      We know for a fact that there are ruzies going to office 9-5 to spread online propaganda and we kinda accept it as not a big deal? That’s straight up terrorism and no one’s talking about it.

      And they won on memes. Do you not see how social media influences us all? Hell, Mexican dude at work yesterday was talking about how Trump will lower our taxes. (He maybe makes $20 as a supervisor, I make $15 as a noob.) Imagine that. Really take a breath and think on it. Where did that idiot belief come from? Memes.
