21. Social media is a problem, too.

There was an interesting article about the right wing echo chamber that the left doesn't have. It stated that when leftist conspiracy stories get started, they get discussed in the main stream media & debunked, but the right wing conspiracy stories just echo around in their rw chamber & gain strength among those who read/listen to it. When you hear some of their shit, like HRC was running a pedophilia ring out of the basement of a pizza shop, or George Soros is paying protesters, you understand why the MSM doesn't touch it. I have a rwnj cousin & it's scary what he believes. And his hate for "libs" is shocking & permeates a lot of his social media. I unfriended him quite some time ago.
