So unless we’re talking about the Democrat party learning how to go low and spread extreme misinformation and paranoia in order to win an election
And even if they did decide to do this? How are they going to counter the massive disinformation networks the qons the qon-adjacent run? I mean, WashPo, NYT, CNN, MSNBC - all run by the corporate-friendly that will kneecap Democrats to get goodies handed out to them. Then there is Facebook, Xitter, Youtube - all skewed to the qons. And that’s not even getting into local news being completely fucked (Sinclair), outlets like Faux and OAN, along with hate radio, and then the broverse on podcasts, YT channels…
The Democratic Party and/or the progressives have nothing even anywhere close to the coordinated and well-funded campaign the qons have…
The bottom line is Democrats aren’t going to win a misinformation campaign against Republicans because of the reasons you brought up and because they simply aren’t as amoral as Republicans are.
It really is up to Americans to be mature, informed, responsible voters who aren’t susceptible to misinformation. And that simply isn’t going to happen. Especially not now that we’ve given total control to a party that ran on deconstructing the public education system.
Realistically, from my personal, pessimistic point of view…we’re completely and utterly fucked and will probably see a steady decline in this country for the remainder of our lives.
