Again, not sure where the implication was that people were 'tricked' necessarily. What I absolutely will say -and stand by- is that with social media becoming such an important tool of communication, it is easier than ever to mass market specific messages and ideas to large groups of people. It is a combination of emotional and actual manipulation; this was always 'campaigning' to an extent, but it is easier than ever to direct attentions on very specific topics and make them a central point of a campaign/ideology you wish to force on people as a 'reason' for their situation. Of course voters are guided by disgruntlement, however where they receive the fuel for theirs becomes very, very important.
Regarding Epstein, do you have faith it will be investigated properly?
Yes, I scratch my head in dismay too. I mean, this should supercede all party lines. Whatever side of the spectrum, a nonce is a nonce is a nonce and they should be brought to justice!
