He most likely was not overly concerned about American politics and its players when he started out.

Why support their takedown of Democratic Politicians?

FB did a job on Hillary Clinton after all.

manipulated to feel fear or hatred.

I also was stopped short by that "every time you fill out a questionnaire" thing. I wonder if all those internet IQ tests or "which Game of Thrones character are you?" things are gathering all our information.

I've never been on FB, but I wonder where else they are applying this.

There is a lot more to this story than FB and Cambridge Analytica are telling us. The GOP played a gigantic propaganda warfare game on the US voters. That explains Trump's rise to power.
Hillary Clinton's campaign was done in by this huge financial gift to the GOP and its candidates. To just say there is nothing here is a huge mistake.
