I'd say absolutely, if Cambridge Analytica wasn't a thing. I'd honestly rather have people not vote than be motivated to go vote because they think the liberal communists are putting fluoride in water to make frogs gay.

It's somehow always the organizations and individuals who are trying to manipulate people that seem to care the most about people's voices being heard in politics. Churches, social media, daytime TV, that crazy uncle you don't like to talk to at family gatherings...

Hey some of us are the crazy cousin saying you should vote while also advocating pissing on the floor when your job tries to deny bathroom rights.

I'd prefer to have you as my cousin instead of the one I have who hates brown people and believes Trump won the 2020 election.

Only if ya can deal with ranting about how modern cars suck due to overuse of electronics and half crazed rants about guns and how we should bring back neighborhood militias.
