We saw ho...I think it is the power of social media. We saw how much it played a part in disseminating lies in the EU referendum. Many people are gullible and do not have the ability or understanding to evaluate what they read. Many people take films of historical events at face value and do not question the provenance of the sources. <br /><br />I know an anti-vaxxer who took in all the stuff pumped out by Trump and refuses to let his 13 year old son be vaccinated because he has read 'it will make him impotent'. <br /><br />You cannot present a logical argument to these people because they will not listen. The same in the referendum. It was pointless arguing with 'leavers' because they would not listen. I tried until I was blue in the face but it was pointless. There were rows, even within my own family, and the scars remain. vvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16407884938971732711noreply@blogger.com
