Americans in year 2024 and year 2025 think what Lemmy, Reddit, Bluesky, Twitter, HDTV, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram simulacra tells them to think.
We had since year 1996 to address the Fox News elephant in the room. Instead of rescuing Americans, people LOL LOL LOL at MAGA and mock Americans over on !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world mockery chambers and many others all over.
That's how Russia won the information war. !HybridWarLost@lemm.ee The USA is a total 100% all inclusive mockery. 5,000 patterns of Kremlin mocking channels to switch from hashtag to hashtag, subreddit to subreddit, Lemmy to Bluesky.

“The display, which was called 'Can Democracy Survive the Internet?' was dedicated to a 'global election management' company called Cambridge Analytica. Cambridge Analytica claimed to have gathered 5,000 data points on every American voter online: what you liked and what you shared on social media; how and where you shopped; who your friends were... They claimed to be able to take this imprint of your online self, use it to understand your deepest drives and desires, and then draw on that analysis to change your voting behaviour. The boast seemed to be backed up by success: Cambridge Analytica had worked on the victorious American presidential campaign of Donald Trump; it had also run successful campaigns for US Senator Ted Cruz (twice); and others all across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, This Is Not Propaganda: Adventures in the War Against Reality, year 2019
