Trump's false election fraud claims regarding the 2020 election have directly caused a new era of radicalization, in which millions of Americans wrongly believe that their country is swarmed with election fraud. Trump's disregard for American democracy has created fertile ground for foreign adversaries to plant misinformation and sow division among the public. The CISA must do more to tackle disinformation.
Though the left loves to pontificate about misinformation, it's only creating echo chambers by purging social media sites of conservative voices. For instance, earlier this month, Facebook shut down over 800 accounts and pages accused of spreading “misinformation” — including many legitimate conservative pages, some with millions of followers. Conservatives are being silenced simply for holding views that go against the mainstream left.
