This is the money quote from the article:
“ The effort showed how social media and other technology can be leveraged to spread misinformation so quickly that those trying to stop it cannot keep up. There were signs that it worked as Donald Trump swung large numbers of Latino votes...”
This is gross journalistic malpractice (I know, it’s the AP, but this is bad for even them). The article fails to distinguish between actual false information and opinions with which the disagree. It seems that the AP really believes that the only way Latino voters would vote for Mr. Trump is due to them believing “misinformation.”
It couldn’t be that they see Mr. Trump as a decisive leader who reached out to them as Individuals, and addressed their concerns in thought and deed. Therefore the AP writers think that a substantial portions of Latinos are idiots.
The leftists typically treat minorities who do not agree with them as if they are imbeciles. An earlier Dem argument as to why 1 of 3 Latinos voted for Trump was that Latinos are plagued with “macho culture” and only supported Trump out of misogyny. All the racist accusations and stereotypes and insults come spewing out of the Democrats when non-white people don’t do what they tell them to.
Of course, they do a similar thing to blue-collar whites who don’t fall into line obediently too, treating them as idiots and rednecks and inferior to themselves.
