The Billion-Dollar Disinformation Campaign to Reelect the President
— The Atlantic
Donald Trump loves to lie. Obscuring the truth comes naturally to him, and disinformation has become one of his most effective political tools.
Trump’s campaign is now planning to spend more than $1 billion to help him get reelected — and as The Atlantic reports, spreading disinformation at an unprecedented scale is at the heart of their 2020 strategy.
Will you chip in to help Connecticut Democrats combat the GOP’s disinformation campaign this year? Trump-inspired Republicans are running for office all across the country this year, even here in Connecticut, and we need your help to defeat them.
John, Trump’s campaign understands how effective disinformation is thanks to modern technology and social media.
That’s why the Trump campaign intends to train “swarms of surrogates” to undermine negative news coverage, a tactic that some scholars have referred to as “censorship through noise.”
We must combat this billion-dollar disinformation campaign, but we can’t do it without the proper resources. Donate whatever you can now to help us ensure that Donald Trump is a one-term president.
There are already Trump acolytes in Connecticut. Just look at one of the Trump-supporting Republicans trying to unseat Jahana Hayes who was reportedly visited by the FBI last month due to his alleged involvement in the Trump Ukraine scandal.
John, Trump’s war on the truth has inspired dangerous candidates to run for office. We need to be prepared with the resources to defeat them this year.
Donate to Connecticut Democrats now to help counter Trump’s billion-dollar disinformation campaign.
