This election truly depresses me now. I've started to get a flood of ridiculous pro-Trump / anti-Hillary propaganda on my Facebook feed, because some of my normally really smart and knowledgeable friends have started to like them. (I also have stupid and loonie friends, plus an alcoholic uncle who believes every Russian propaganda piece he runs into. But those people believing in nonsense I'm used to. These are people who by should be fully aware of the amount of disinformation and propaganda on the internet, especially lately since Russia's infowar has been a clear trending topic in Finland.
I need more escapism in my life, I can't effing handle this.
