HEY THERE, Y'ALL!
As we move into 2019 and presidential hopefuls start their campaigns, remember:
- DO NOT FORM POLITICAL OPINIONS BASED ON INFOGRAPHICS. Read source material. If a journalist is legitimate, they will not pass off their statements as fact without proof.
- DO NOT TAKE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS AS TRUTH. Not even when they are made by someone you trust.
- DO NOT TRUST ANY SOURCE UNLESS IT IS CORRABORATED BY MULTIPLE OTHER CREDIBLE SOURCES.
There are already bots posting propaganda, actively targeting leftists, encouraging us not to vote in various ways.
Do not let them win.
This political system is heinously broken, but consider what evil still has to gain from silencing you before you allow yourself to be silenced.
And check the context on EVERY soundbite you hear. If you’re told, “Someone said X!” see if what they said takes on a different meaning if you hear what they said before and after it. Especially if it’s less than a full sentence. o.O
