This is so important. The fact that Facebook allowed the Russian bots, trolls and deep fake sites back. The fact that Saudi is allowed to invest billions in our media mega corporations like Disney. The fact that Musk was allowed to buy up Twitter and turn it into a right wing septic system. The fact that a political party owns a huge media conglomerate with no checks or balances to their constant lies.

It's all these rightwing foreign influences spewing propaganda 24/7 onto our voting populace with very little push back.

Because if it was reality getting through to them, there is no way a fat, demented, malicious narcissist turn Nazi could be equated with AOC. There would be no way they could see this guy giving a blow job to a mike as being good for them and the American people.

Someone else posted that they saw Trump as just another old white guy running for president against a former VP. But what didn't seem to get through at all was that Trump is not just another old white guy. That doesn't even seem to touch their thoughts.

It's all the rightwing foreign noise spewing constantly how great a malicious narcissist is going to be for the US. While continually tearing apart his rival.

That's what has to change first but because free trade is a capitalist montra, it's never going to change.
