Running for Your Life: Mueller Muddle

We are asking the wrong question, our heads in the sand.

A group organized by Russian “KGB” moles “influenced” the 2016 US Election to such a degree as to tilt the result to one candidate, Donald Trump.

We shorthand this fact to say we must double-down to expose “Russian” propaganda on social media (see previous blog post).

Horrors! Millions have been infected by the “fake news” perpetrated by those forces of evil.

Not. Consider that our spiritual founding father (the other guys being slave owner, philosopher-types, notwithstanding), PT Barnum, and the phrase closely associated with him:

“There is a sucker born every minute.”

The question is, How did our society get to such a depraved state in which the Barnum line supplants our founding fathers' “Out of many, one,” or E pluribus unum?
