Ive been talking to a bunch of my ex friends that voted for trump. It seems the problem isnt neccassarily disinformation, the issue is that people want to be dumb. Most people CANNOT have a single conversation about politics. The lowest level of analysis hurts their brain. They just want someone to rally behind who gives ~~me~~ them an out group. I don't see a realistic solution to working with these people when they seem dead set against allowing the world to improve. The closest i can think is an education test to vote, but that comes with some serious issues.

Edit: lmfao

There's no answer. We are all going to hell. Along with them. Yay for us all.
