While it is often difficult to prove which of the on-line "news" items are legitimate and which

are concocted by bots and trolls, it is obvious that Putin and his traitorous "American" accomplices are flooding the internet with often ridiculous accounts of liberal crimes and socialist plans versus Trumpian wisdom and heroism.

As just one example which I have noticed, is it likely that ONLY poor Donald Trump's campaign signs are being stolen or destroyed? In the area I live in, the life expectancy of most Biden signs is measured in hours or, at most, a few days. As a result, you will see 9 or 10 Trump signs for each lonely Biden sign. But, check out social media sites.

On YouTube, which I often browse, I have seen many supposedly factual accounts---most with grainy video---of those damn commie libtards damaging or stealing some poor MAGAt's yard sign or flag. I have never seen ANY such videos of Trumpies stealing or destroying Biden signage.

I know many will respond to this with "So what", but I think that overestimates the judgment of many who will slowly absorb the impression that Trump is the victim of "unscrupulous Democratic extremists". And, once that becomes their internalized "truth", they will easily be persuaded that all of the negatives they may hear about Trump are just "socialist/anarchist lies paid for by billionaire elites".

For at least the next several months, anything put on social media sites that has a source other than one you know and trust should be ignored.

2. A lot of people will ignore it for the most part. The sad fact is that ignorance rules YouTube.

The broad reach of social media has tapped into the easily pleased and willfully ignorant wanting to be satisfied with fast food information catering to their current mindset. They don't want to hear or see anything that negates what they believe and therefore they can SEE what they want in almost anything.

It is very hard to convince them of their delusions, I have taken time to do it on several occasions online when I knew it was not a bot and it was a hard fight and I could only win by sticking to my points, staying with truth and being unrelenting without resorting to insults. Once they resort to insults, you have them.
