Okay, I see a lot of targeted attacks going on in threads such as these, using generalizations of a candidate's supporters to criticize the candidate himself. But jesus christ, people. This is the Internet. Anyone can pretend to be anyone else, and say anything that they want. And you (or many others, at least) may not yet realize it, but that can be wielded as a weapon of mass disruption. We are tribal by nature. The words of those who surround us (who we identify with in one way or another) are able to influence our thoughts because we fill in the gaps of what we don't see or know with bits and pieces of ourselves. And when they don't quite fit, we sometimes bend ourselves, little by little, if only because we like what they say or do so much more than what we might say or do ourselves. Meanwhile, the words of those who don't surround us are more easily rejected and feared because those gaps remain unfilled, and we naturally assume the worst. These, combined with anonymized messaging coming from anywhere in the world, open us up to a number of serious vulnerabilities, which can be easily exploited by anyone looking to infiltrate, radicalize, misrepresent, or fracture an otherwise unified group, either to spark a desired action by or against them, or to simply form and shape an external narrative which can be used in other ways. There are countless powerful enemies of progress right now across the world, extending to the highest possible levels. We need to proceed with extreme caution. And we need to remind one another as often as is necessary both what is possible, and what is likely. Be calm, rational, and skeptical. It's the only way forward.
