The threat of misinformation, conspiracy theory and social media to our democracy

[David Horn]

I might be a good time to look at other data points.  There are a lot of academics looking at the problem of natural affinity.  In other words, some people are just wired to be fearful and are always going to oppose 'the other'.  They tend to be drawn to socially conservative entities, and the GOP is the top of the list.  Others are more open and accepting.  They tend to be Democrats. 

Here's a good NYTimes article on the subject.  It shouldn't be hidden behind the paywall, so enjoy!
