22. Brainwashing is good, too.

What I'm trying to convey is the totality of what is happening within the populace goes way beyond the hacking of the Democratic computers. It's a wide mass social attack achieved mainly through the control of media and social networking.

In addition to voter suppression and intimidation.

All of those fake news stories, "like" farms on Facebook, and Twitter in general are destroying our social fabric and the social contract here in the U.S. as well.

If you think brainwashing is what it should be called. Go for it. It's as good of a name as any for this beast.
