Master of Deceit

Post by _moksha »

When I say Master of Deceit I am not talking religious mythology, I am speaking of the Trump/Republican campaign of disinformation. With the help of Cambridge Analytica/Facebook and other sources (Russia, Outer Darkness, Rachel Ray, etc...?) the Trumpians have around 3000 data points for each citizen to make microtargeting of propaganda easy to disseminate. Watch it here:

Excellent point. I bet you are thinking of animated tanks from various allied powers, all driven by Hillary Clinton, coming to take snack foods away from LDSfaqs unless he pledges to vote for Trump in November, right? Pretty clever in knowing just what buttons are the most persuasive.

I have to take exception to this thread. Had people placed any credence in this Atlantic fact-finding report they would have found it alarming. Even if they had found it credible, they are occupied with thoughts of Hunter Biden.
