Rubin? You really aren't paying attention...

David is describing American Fascism among other things. His next to last paragraph shows that he too has bought in to the party line.

How Conspiracy Theories Are Shaping the 2020 Election—and Shaking the Foundation of American Democracy

https://time.com/5887437/conspiracy-...2020-election/

Experts who follow disinformation say nothing will change until Facebook and YouTube shift their business model away from the algorithms that reward conspiracies. “We are not anywhere near peak crazy,” says Mele. Phillips, the professor from Syracuse, agrees that things will get weirder. “We’re in trouble,” she adds. “Words sort of fail to capture what a nightmare scenario this is.”

But to voters like Kelly Ferro, the mass delusion seems more like a mass awakening. Trump “is revealing these things,” she says serenely, gesturing with her turquoise-tipped fingernails. Americans’ “eyes are being opened to the darkness that was once hidden.”

After yoga in the morning, Ferro says, she often spends hours watching videos, immersing herself in a world she believes is bringing her ever closer to the truth. “You can’t stop, because it’s so addicting to have this knowledge of what kind of world we’re living in,” she says. “We’re living in an alternate reality.”

Ferro is just like Waggs and Insane - constantly watching conspiracy videos on YooToob, and believing the utter nonsense. Sad. A misinformed mind is a dangerous thing.

Democracy will be lost when Trump loses teh election but retains office by maneuvers enabled by teh GOP in the Senate which is VERY possible.
