Disinformation was just more effective and reality did not matter. If one can side just fabricate a southern invasion, or convince people inflation is high when it isn’t. It doesnt really matter what the other side does.

Bingo.

The last few elections have really highlighted how uneducated and easily manipulated the American public is. And as far as I can tell, disinformation is going to be our future. The average American just isn't interested in responsibly informing themselves. And because of that we'll never have the Congress we need to reign in the forces pushing that disinformation (not that you can ever really stop it now that Pandora's Box is open). So the future goes to whatever party can fabricate the most extreme blatant lies to scare people into voting for them.

The future is not looking bright.
