I realized the other day that the tendency by many people to believe whatever they read on the internet without any type of further proof, be it something another person writes, a comment, just plain old deception, has primed people for Trump. Trump now openly and wildly exaggerates practically everything, and it is accepted by his followers without question. They are primed to accept it without question. This doesn't change in America either. There are no civic courses on how to authenticate what one reads. I would bet this tendency that we are witnessing gets worse and worse especially as AI comes more and more into prominence. Plus there's FOX. It's been said that a person is better informed if they watched nothing, no news at all, than watched FOX News. So we have these peddlers of extreme disinformation like Kennedy and Trump. We have to wonder, what kind of human being would deliberately do this type of disinformation. The conclusion always circles back to, well it would someone who is not well.
