Its been happening and while it has been good, it has emboldened the extremists. The Proud Boys are rebuilding for this November. Expect to see black and yellow shirts hawking polling places and public infrastructure.
What’s significant about black and yellow do they want to be called the bumblebee gang now?
Idk if the colors themselves have meaning, I just know that’s what they identify themselves with. I’ll be watching people at polls this year making sure Proud Boys aren’t harassing voters.
“I mean, I would love to spike the football and say that, you know, we’re now seeing reality make a comeback,” Sykes continued. “But the big asterisk there is, can reality make a comeback in American politics as long as Donald Trump is possibly going to be elected the next President of the United States? Because … these things are not, they’re not simply discrete. Donald Trump has worked very closely with each of these outlets. They are crucial cogs in the disinformation web out there.”
It’s naive to think that mainstream articles are the primary source of the average American’s media consumption. Social media disinformation will only worsen as we get closer to the election.
