I haven’t heard near the outcry for certain issues that were called Russian Disinformation by the big guy, their party, the media, social media banned all the related stories, and even the alphabet agencies carried their water. Outright lies that heavily influenced the outcome of the presidential election. Not a lot of outrage or worry from that?
The contents on the laptop of President Biden’s son Hunter Biden were authenticated by mainstream outlets recently, but two Democratic leaders still say it’s Russian disinformation.

Except for those who have said, "they dont care" as long as their man won and Trump lost.
I am sure Russia, China, N.Korea, Iran all like it when we self destruct ! But, as we look backwards,( which of course always gives one 20/20 vision) the coordination of certain politicians and news outlets to not just discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story, but to actually turn it around and use it against a political rival should concern everyone. I know this is not a new strategy in politics but with the openly bias news media ( both directions ) and the influence of social media in our lives, it is a concern none the less. What are we Americans willing to do and accept in order to get who we want or defeat who we dont want.
Perhaps I will change my mind as I age, but today it is hard for me to look at Biden and Trump as either the devil or an angel. As I mentioned earlier, Trump did some things that drove me up the wall, but he also did some things better than Biden--and--he knew all along that the story about him and Russia was not true and I am sure it was hard to live with. Biden, according to my parents and grandparents, was someone people from both parties liked when in the Senate, but imho he is not playing with a full deck at this time and that is a concern to me. This is not Biden or Trump is bad or good. It is acknowledging what has and is transpiring today.
I have not tried to hide my feelings, I am a young, female, conservative and I catch flak for that even in my own family . Idealist--maybe Naive --probably Young--absolutely. But today I will continue to fight against abortions after the first trimester, against boys competing in girls sports, defunding the police--and fight for securing our southern border and since we have lost men in our family fighting to keep us free, I will stand when our anthem is played.
And back to the new government agency. It may be a necessity because of the influence social media has on people today and the continuing effort by foreign governments to bring us down, but it scares the hell out of me that it will be used as a political "tool"
