The people who wanted you to believe that the “internet was a fad” as an excuse to not get a computer are now completely controlled by it.

Oh, but not climate change.

In 2007, we didn’t have a significant portion of elected officials from a particular party lending their dubious legitimacy to deliberate misinformation or social media to the extent we have it now.
At the top of that heap is Trump.
You’d probably not be surprised at the number of people who actually trust Trump when he says stupid shit about windmills, armed immigrant gangs taking over neighborhoods in Colorado, masks don’t work, powerful dark forces (deep state) running everything, after birth abortion, children having trans surgery at school, etc.
From there, social media just reinforces it and leads them down the rabbit hole into believing just about anything.

Politics has always had a lot of spin and empty promises, but there was once a time when an elected official said “this is so” you could be confident they were speaking the truth. Trump has changed that forever.
