Trump's Campaign to Spread Disinformation

[_Icarus]

This was shocking even though nothing should ever shock us anymore

You're undoubtedly right. There should be nothing surprising about this. I don't see how anyone with as clear and easily discoverable a record of corruption, pathological lying and dishonest business dealings can possibly win without an all out, no holds barred and ultimately successful determination to spread as much disinformation as possible about both himself and his opponents.

I posted about this story from the Atlantic about a month ago but nobody responded. A billion-dollar disinformation campaign seems huge. One of Trump's supporters even purchased Twitter so the disinformation cannot be stopped.

Here’s the updated list with a map now of all the Trump attack vectors:

tl;dr - Parscale is up to his usual crap.

On a local level, the Markk attack vector seems like a fiendish plot.

One of the harder lessons to take of the last few years for me is that the vast majority of people are full of crap, mostly from self-delusion.

I suppose I'm just getting over being way too trusting. My default reaction to anything anyone says these days is, "I wonder if that's verifiable?" I suspect most of the stuff I hear (when I hear it) is straight up BS. People are simply damned dumb.

This is Nixon and Bush I, and probably a lot of other past candidates and campaigns. I don't think disinformation and voter suppression is anything new. Sad, but not new.
