The way they got our population to elect Trump is a motherfucking case study in democracy sabotage.

I’m not saying it was just Russia that did this here, but that it’s a known and easy to accomplish tactic, aided by forces like Elon Musk who bought one of the largest media platforms, then outsourced the propaganda grinding to countries like India where the modest income they receive from shares and likes is enough to live on.

The news media outlets from MSNBC, to CNN to FOX to every other fringe corporate news organization are owned by and paid for by the same people who benefit from you thinking your side is winning and their side is losing.
