The Culpable Gullible 0

The Philadelphia Inquirer’s editorial board makes a point that I’ve expressed privately to friends.

Meddling in our elections by Russia and others foreign and domestic would not have worked if American citizens had looked up from their “social” media feeds and paid attention to the real world.

Here’s a bit; follow the link for the rest:

The fact is that Russia was able to compromise voters through dirty tricks, hacked e-mails, social media, and disinformation points out our own weakness as a country: We’re too gullible, and we don’t check facts, and we would rather share a meme than debate our differences.

Random Thought:

Conspiracy and puppetry are not the same thing.
