General Discussion

Our rumor-mill-media is similarly reliability challenged. There are none in the system who would profit from revelations, no matter how factual, which impugn their credibility. Go figure.

I think the best IT minds of at least one enemy state have been on this for several years. They've honed their subterfuge skills over multiple US electoral contests to attack and corrupt our system at every point of weakness, this, in alliance with the leadership of the Republican party. Given that, how in hell can there be a reasonable argument when all contentions are based on media-produced assertions and supported by media-produced evidence, the basis for which defies credibility?

As silly as it sounds, we must resort to our own common sense based on experience over time. We are being told from many points of view and in many scenarios how blocks of (use a demographic term) do not, in fact, vote as a unit. But here we jump and salivate when some entity rep. dangles a pre-packaged, self-serving baited hook that posits, "these people have uniformly accepted a new and enlightened attitude because (insert Republican talking point)". This old song-and-dance is growing tiresome, folks. Almost as tiresome as good people falling for it over and over.
