2/2 believe in and want to see. Made possible by Trump’s lack of firm policy objectives & capricious ever-shifting statements. It’s hard to accuse someone of flip flopping when they’ll doing it in the same sentence. It somehow raises the noise floor allowing a blank canvas for a voter to project to.

@singe I was wondering how much of this is enabled by social media microtargeting (everyone gets what they want to hear, even contradictory messages work)

@buherator absolutely, and the disinformation is so tightly wound into that nobody can differentiate. I’m interested in the idea of https://ground.news/ and its blind spot feed as a potential counter to it.

@singe Didn't know that site, looks really useful! On the other hand I see 0 chance such sites would get off among the majority of the population, esp. when compared to social media.
