The growing demographic group turns to social media for news more than other demographic groups, research shows.

Misinformation drove these people to vote for Trump. This is going be leopard eating their faces. Sad and shows just how much fake videos and misinformation can influence our elections.

    Trump’s election seems/feels like reoccurring issue with short term memory,

    This is actually about all we have. If it happened more than 5 minutes ago, it didn’t happen.

    long term planning,

    Dems tend not to see more than about 5 minutes ahead, either.

    critical thinking,

    Nonexistent in the modern age. People have long since spoken and have said they prefer online echo chambers where critical thinking is actively discouraged.

    and reading deficiencies amoung the American population.

    When do you think the last time your average American voter read a book? Or for that matter consumed a piece of news media that wasn’t a social media clickbait video from their echo chamber of choice?
