Wasn't election interference by means of social media an event just waiting to happen?

Populace v vulnerable - gobble up anything they see and pass it on multiple times.

I have zero training in modern communication, internet, social media technology. And .....I don't see how we can protect our country from such (and ever more sophisticated) attacks in the future.

I hope some of you are knowledgable enough to give me some hope for the future.

And WHAT DO WE DO TO PROTECT OURSELVES IN THE MIDTERMS??
