After Tuesday

Let’s look at a few of the trends that will continue past Tuesday, starting with this piece by Luke O’Brien: “I spent weeks figuring out how hate gurgles up from the nastiest recesses of the Internet. And I’m sorry to report that unconscionable racists will be a force in American politics well beyond November 8.”

+ Buzzfeed: How Macedonia became a global hub for misinformation.

+ The Guardian: And slowly, before anyone can even take note, memes are ruining democracy. (Insert Crying Michael Jordan image here.)

+ You know how we only have eight Supreme Court justices? Well, that might last well beyond this election too.

+ Will facts survive the 2016 election? One never knows, so you might as well read WaPo’s 2016 Election Fact Checker. It could be the last time we even bother with such things.
