Here is something I want to warn everyone about. You might be aware how Russian propaganda targets Trump supporters. What you might not yet be aware of is that there is propaganda targeted at us too. The article I linked to does a good job of explaining this with the following quote:

Propaganda is also strategically useful to incapacitate opposition, within and outside the country. A key insight here is that collective actions—such as people protesting against the regime within the country, or external countries deciding on sanctions—require successful coordination.

The goal of groups such as the Russian government and the Republican party is to divide us so we cannot effectively stop them.

Always remember this:

• Voting matters.
• You can make a difference.
• We share common goals which are more important than our disagreements

I made this post after having discussions with people who are perhaps acting in bad faith on multiple social media platforms who tell me things like it won’t matter no matter what you do, that both sides are the same or that you can’t make a difference. That’s why I put “Apathy Shills” in part of the title. So remember vote and volunteer. It will make a difference despite what anyone tells you. Never let anyone bring you down.
