Germany: nearly 90% of voters fear manipulation

If there are any germans out there reading this, it's not to late to enact strong policy. America failed to do so and I fear the repercussions of not taking the threat seriously have only just begun.

I first heard it on NPR. They were referring to Trump's lies in the 2016 campaign. Two weeks later his team had co-opted the term and used it as a two word reply to anything going against their narrative.

I'm totally amazed that they pulled that off so well. It's sad of course, set us down the path to "alternative facts" and is still used as complete dismissal of an argument without even giving it a chance.
