(6,916 posts)6. Brought about by GOP billionaires
GOP billionaires built a propaganda machine to incite hate and suppress votes, all to get Americans to vote for tax cuts for billionaires. And the president co opted that propaganda machine, which supports him to allow the GOP to destroy govt to cut taxes on the rich.
And to a lesser extent, this moment was brought about by social media and Russian propaganda.
But the biggest problem is propaganda by GOP billionaires.
