I honestly didn't believe it myself until I started to hear incredible (meaning, ridiculous) stories coming from my brother.

We used to get our news from the newspaper and local television stations. Today, most people are glued to facebook. This plus general unhappyness made millions of people prime targets for fake news and propaganda.

I know you and I disagree on just about everything, but I can tell you this. As an "outsider", I was able to see the devastation this was causing. It's still incredible.

I promise you that you are wrong. Do this: For a while, pretend I'm right, and see if you can do your own digging to spot the lies you've been told. It won't be that hard.
