As Worry has been posting, it seems like the generation reaching 18 now has the tool set to deal with stuff like fake news and propaganda,
This is my favourite bit. I love it.
The gun lobby, GOP, Trumpsters and anyone else who has been using social media, CNN soundbites, twitter, and any other (modern) venue to spread falsities, propaganda, and attack anyone across the aisle from them...are being utterly
schooled in that venue.
These kids are like "Hey, old white man? You may be able to use this shit to fleece other old, uninformed people easily (and have for years)...but this is where we LIVE 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This is OUR territory, and we can run circles around you on it. Bring it on Grampa."
Like the "crisis actor" shit was shut down in like HOURS later with the kids basically dominating the conversation on all those venues to show the GOP's ass on the subject. I was impressed.
If there is any hope in your country...it's these kids or future ones like them.
