    If you think that the US is like WW2 era Germany in terms of facism, I doubt you know enough about WW2 era Germany…

    Slippery slope is literally the name of the fallacy.

    Don’t drown in despair. Prepare.

    It’s not the big, loud disinformation that’s the most worrying; at least that can be addressed head-on. It’s the subtle, divisive manipulation that’s been going on for years that has us disowning family and flirting with civil war.

    You know where this is going, can’t trust the vote of a misinformed voter, so… No vote until the government figures out what information you need for deciding on further changes to government.

    Republicans have weaponized misinformation and protected their operators from scrutiny. It will never be punished the way it should.

    Spreading false voting information -- like the example in the article about fake phone calls saying polling places are closed -- is a crime in the US, whether or not it's online, it's just hot particularly well enforced.
