The U.S. presidential election comes at a time of ideal circumstances for disinformation and the people who spread it.
Disinformation poses an unprecedented threat to democracy in the United States in 2024, according to researchers, technologists and political scientists.
As the presidential election approaches, experts warn that a convergence of events at home and abroad, on traditional and social media — and amid an environment of rising authoritarianism, deep distrust, and political and social unrest — makes the dangers from propaganda, falsehoods and conspiracy theories more dire than ever.
The U.S. presidential election comes during a historic year, with billions of people voting in other elections in more than 50 countries, including in Europe, India, Mexico and South Africa. And it comes at a time of ideal circumstances for disinformation and the people who spread it.
An increasing number of voters have proven susceptible to disinformation from former President Donald Trump and his allies; artificial intelligence technology is ubiquitous; social media companies have slashed efforts to rein in misinformation on their platforms; and attacks on the work and reputation of academics tracking disinformation have chilled research.
we have less rights now, wages are lower than ever especially given the inflation, healthcare is substandard, international policies needs help, immigration with obtainable citizenship with human rights left intact is out of reach, militarized police forces running rampant with a GA Cop City training ground on the horizon, journalist being silenced, voters being suppressed or not even allowed to vote, people starving, cost of living skyrocketing sending people crashing sometimes into homelessness, corporations using legal slave labor from prison camps, and the list goes on
but yes trump and disinformation caused this whole mess and vote Biden he is the Jesus of America and only choice we have which makes voting for him not fascist
Everything you listed is a result of the conservative agenda and disinformation largely spread by Republicans. They have absolutely caused this mess and continue to block anyone from attempting to clean it up.
I agree with that assessment. Which is exactly why we can never let “conservatives” into power again to continue the warpath of destruction against the American people that you have described.
