Now that's not SciFi...
but it was predicted by SciFi decades ago. That racist/elitist sound bite - you going to believe that? That gotcha video - you going to believe that? They could all have been faked.
The one thing that can't be faked is who a person is - what someone has actually done over time. Do they have values you can respect? Knowledge you can rely on? Moral stamina you can trust? Do you know that politician / public figure, or are you being swayed by the latest short-term bullshit storm?
What I'd really like to see is people stop saying "the bad guys fooled us" and realize the real problem is they let themselves be fooled.
