I disagree and, unfortunately, snippets of argument, as mandated by the format of Twitter, provide the opposite of a good medium for substantive discussions. In closing, I would offer that the study of propaganda, focused on the reasons for its efficacy, would be useful.

Yeah, this isn't a Twitter length argument, and something that is crucial but I do think a lot about propaganda and how to counter it. To push the metaphor a bit, if propaganda is the pathogen, the trust in experts/institutions is the immune system.

One suggestion to anyone interested in this topic: Demagogue for President: The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump by
