awarded a Trump cult, merit badge for your proficiency in promoting conspiracy theories and exercising the tools of Trump's disinformation campaign, commonly used by Hitler, Putin, and now Trump;
1) Discredit the mainstream media, the only factual source of information. Once you have done this, the automatons will believe only what you say or sources of information you lead them to.
2) Prop up alternative media sources; Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Breitbart and all the far right, radical, conspiracy theorist websites. They will convincingly throw a fact or two in there and weave it into a false, conspiracy narrative that the automatons will have no problem believing and then mimicking, to all who try to disseminate the truth.
3) When the smart and honest citizens of the U.S. call out this evil disinformation campaign or Trump's race baiting words/treasonous actions, simply label them "fake news," a "hoax," or a "witch hunt." That should keep the automatons on our side.
Trump and his automatons are clearly following the playbook of dictators before him.
