My wife just got back from an hour-long political "discussion" with the guy who was fixing our daughter's phone
Perfect example of something we are up against in November
Phone guy:
- was a Biden voter in the last election
- doesn't like Trump
- started watching YouTube videos and podcasts about RFK Jr
- now is obsessed with RFK Jr and all the pro-Russia & anti-Biden conspiracy theories
All thanks to the YouTube algorithm which literally guided him down this path with constant reinforcement
