I’m going to say this bluntly: This issue is an example of how propaganda becomes weaponized when there are enough morons to buy into it.

It’s a very serious issue and there are problems on many levels that don’t get solved until people are capable of putting aside their emotions and using critical thought. As a society, we are not encouraging people to be smart enough to be resistant to this kind of manipulation. The opposite is what is happening, at incredible speed.
