    The article mentions people are willing to suspend their belief in understandingthe truth in order to further their “team” or party objective, but I think this whole thing is simply foreign adversaries vying to destroy us from within by sowing contempt and spreading lies on social media and news outlets.

    Occam’s Razor.

      I think it’s been foreign adversaries meddling with our politics. Our whole country knows we need to be spending a lot more on public education. It’s not a mystery. Ask anybody who’s been in a public school.

      And then with the grip that social media has on our masses, The ease with which social media silos us into a weird kind of social affirmation tunnel vision platform that essentially brainwashes us.

      If you’re a foreign adversary that’s already meddling in the United States politics, it’s a hop skip and a jump to start meddling in their private sector. In fact it’s quite a lot easier id imagine.
