    And it’s working. I spent last weekend in Kansas visiting family, and it’s mind boggling. They live in a world dictated propaganda that is so easy to disprove, yet they cannot be swayed otherwise, despite any evidence to the contrary.

      You need to do your own research! That aligns with my point of view!!!

      All jokes aside, the amount of misinformation on social platforms is mindbogglingly.

      For example parents used to tell us when growing up TV would rott our brains. Now our parents have gotten older and they believe everything online is 100% true and fact.

      Parts of the internet like TV are for entertainment.
