Thanks. I appreciate the links. That's on spot 
I would like to think of "our side" as taking the time and making the effort to learn and know more about both the details and the bigger picture in order to effectively counter the misinformation and pull back the carpet to see what has been swept under it. We may not have enough time and energy, but even a little bit is better than none. If we want to take a journey of a thousand miles, the first step is how we begin.
Our counter to the low-information, misinformation voters, etc., ("their side" is to be highly informed, stay abreast of things and to be able to respond in kind rather than merely react out of habit from the lizard brain. The wool should not be easily pulled over our eyes and knowledge still is power, if you have the right kind and know how to use it. In the churning storm of white noise and news cycles, that task can be all the more difficult, too. Attention and focus are a matter of discipline, but the cause is worth it.
That's the fuel for our incremental and collective capacity to make any transformations and bring about some necessary balance and it is really becoming a matter of life and death for more and more of us as this continues, which might add some emphasis to the conundrum. Otherwise, we may just find ourselves more frustrated, confused, stressed-out and incapacitated.
