Considering what just happened in Romania with their elections, and of course, the US before that... it's really sad to see how many people are falling for the blatant lies, disinformation and hostility that the right gleefully weaponizes. The right is striving for power and money, and stepping on the people that vote for them to do so, while their followers smile and let them.
The only defense to this is better education and more rigorous critical thinking skills, and the right is mercilessly trying to take these away too because they know education is power. Unfortunately, social media has become a platform for the right's hostile rise, and it's honestly scary. Watching people like GullFoss and MelBridgeman fall for this grift is actually sad to watch.
