The Republicans have been learning from Russia for years as they made frequent trips over to Russia and what do they learn there. They learn how to push misinformation and propaganda. That’s all incorrect. We need to learn how to fight against misinformation we need to be able to drown out all the lies by pushing truth propaganda. We probably won’t be able to destroy Fox News because of First Amendment protections so we have to learn to drown out all that misinformation
