(#6141) Fake republican profiles all over the Internet

      I get the republican strategy! Attack all news with bots and paid profiles when the news is bad for republicans or good for democrats. It is abnormal and irrational but somewhat effective. It attacks our psyche to dishearten us. Yet at the same time it lifts us up because it exposes the republican desperation. The republicans are resorting to disinformation as a policy since they have no policy to run on except tax breaks for the wealthy. We have just under a year to go to the midterms so it is good that knowing what republicans are doing will be offset by simply laughing at their attempts. I make fun of the bots myself.
     As an example, with a platform like facebook mixing their algorithms to favor disinformation all to often, highlighting comments that are obviously there to disinform and attack. It isn't just facebook either. On news sources from my google page comments are highlighted as well by obvious bots who do the same disinformation and attack method. It seems like every news source that posts has a lead comment highlighted that is absurd and negative about anything positive by democrats. Media in general is too often compromised when reporting the truth of things so really paying attention to what is being offered as news is more important now than ever.
     How are we supposed to know what is true and what is false? There has always been a method for deciding truth from falsehood and that method is called logic. Build premise upon premise upon premise to correctly see a rational conclusion. I personally am a cynic about republicans. They are the masterminds of disinformation because they don't have policies that the majority of us are impressed with. They need disinformation as a tool to stay competitive in elections. So for me I always give the benefit of the doubt to democrats although still researching to verify. With republicans I always initially assign fault while also researching to verify that. I am objective, not irrationally fooled by intentional liars.
