In a divided country how do we do a hard reset and get things done, empowering people and minimizing mis/disinformation?

@Museek

I've lain awake lots of nights wondering about this myself.

It unfortunately boils down to "How do we deprogram at least a third of the population?"

There's an awful lot of people who are so fact-resistant that they're taking all of us down with them at this point. ☹️

@Tarnagh

Perhaps we can learn from what happened to Germany, take us back to 2026 and be transparent about what happened?

@Museek

Maybe.

The German people post-WWII were *ashamed.* They went to great lengths to make sure everyone understood the history of what had been done in the name of "nationalism."

The people here and now are not ashamed in the least and they're working very hard to suppress real history. Along with everything else they're doing.

@Tarnagh @Museek I think it’s a multi channel assault on reality.

Dark Money needs to be removed from politics (eliminating super pacs)
We need actual journalism, not infotainment
We need term limits
We need cult deprogramming
We need social media to be serious about separating the fact from fiction

@JGNWYRK @Tarnagh @Museek I think all of these are fair and reasonable proposals. Your first item--the truly nefarious aspect of it (that corporations are "people" and money is "speech") is so un-American I can't believe we ended up here.
