If every DU member did this, it would have an effect.

ETA: Here is a good article to click on. (I found it by Googling "Trump scandal". Unfortunately, the first result was an article about some Hillary "scandal". Goes to show how important this is.)

And it works.

With the modern PC/MACbook browser it's child's play, but most people tend to be computer illiterate, so few people educate themselves and build on that knowledge. Not their fault, I'm sure they have lots that consumes their lives, without having to learn about computer technology as well.

Build in 30 tabs that you've told your browser to open every time, all based on some search engine criteria, like Donald Trump embarrasses or Donald Trump unqualified or Donald Trump #bondigate or Donald Trump dangerous, and let the browser train the Internet. That doesn't do it all though, you have to actually select a matching link from each of the tabs. Then the Internet search engine gets trained.

So it is easy, but it takes time and effort. Pretty cool though.

Just seemed like something worth sharing.

Besides, I know there are people in this community who are WAY better at working social media than I am. I'd love their input, too.
