Big money has effected news broadcasts but voting records and live or recorded broadcasts of Congress in secession combined with each parties press conferences with lots of fact checking can be verified. One example is representatives taking credit for the good things in bills that passed they voted against. Another that surprised me was when the border bill was supported by Border Patrol Associations that endorsed Trump. I experienced many of the hot parts of the Cold War and even then disinformation was used to influence. Many in the Russian government were convinced we didn’t have the capabilities we had. We had to paint our missile silos doors bright pink so they would show up on satellite images once I was told. We also conducted operational exercises to prove we could launch in under 2 minutes as they thought it was 48 minutes giving them time for a preemptive attack. We need to hold our representatives accountable when they deceive us and do not do the bidding of their constituents. We need to elect smart enough representatives that can acknowledge they are being deceived and have enough courage to confront those that deceive them with proven facts instead of folding to party pressure.
