Then, in 2016, as the presidential election unfolded, Stengel watched as Donald Trump used disinformation himself, weaponizing the grievances of Americans who felt overlooked.

Donald Trump pulled the greatest upset in American political history despite a torrent of invective and dismissal of the mainstream media.

選挙結果は民意の反映と言われるが，ここにいう「民意」や「結果」の意味は曖昧である．これらの言葉の背景には何があるのか？一票の価値の較差が二倍にも三倍にもなるのを，なぜ，司法は許容しているのか？　なぜ，衆院選では小選挙区と比例区と二つあるのか？選挙の仕組みと憲法の観点から「公正な代表」の姿を問う！

Increasingly, political parties have adopted not only different policies, but different sets of facts. As E. J. Fagan argues, partisan think tanks have helped create these alternate realities in their capacity as de facto formal party organizations.

It may sound unwise to pick the future leader of the free world based on personality traits rather than platforms, policies, and ideology, but that is exactly what Americans do. In fact, personality explains the results of the last 22 US elections - and can predict who will win in 2020. Personality expert Merrick Rosenberg and coauthor Richard Ellis have developed a system that reveals the pattern of who takes the White House and why.

New York Times best-selling author and legendary political insider Roger Stone lashes out with a blistering indictment that exposes the true history and monumental hypocrisy of the Bushes. In his usual "go for the jugular" style, Stone collaborates with Saint John Hunt - author, musician, and son of legendary CIA operative E. Howard Hunt - to make this a "no-holds-barred" history of the Bush family.

In today’s chaotic world, where the multiplication of information sources creates competing narratives, credibility is the key to winning the war of ideas. This is the reason why governments and corporations resort to astroturfing - creation of ostensibly grassroots movements set up to advance political agendas and commercial campaigns. The democratization of information and polarization of politics offer a perfect storm.
