Disinformation is going to destroy this country if something isn't done, seriously. The Right Wing continually spews disinformation and there's no organized front to fight against the disinformation. Some websites do it, but we need more (and highly effective counterarguments that are easy to understand to be developed), and we need the effort highly organized and the counterarguments sent to just about everyone we know.
We need people to know the counterarguments against disinformation in order to be able to influence the "influencer class", or opinion leaders, the people in society that talk to lots of people around them about their opinions that are good in convincing others (and usually has high respect from others around them) and convince them of their viewpoints, can get this knowledge and spread it to everyone else, creating a whole chain of opinion change in this country.
I think a think tank with a mission statement of aggressively combatting disinformation should be created by Americans who want to save this country from the destructive path it is on now because Americans are being fed so much disinformation that they can't stop voting against their own interests and can't make the decisions necessary to save this country.
BTW. more information about the "opinion leaders" in society, from wikipedia:
"In his article "The Two Step Flow of Communication" by Elihu Katz, he found opinion leaders to have more influence on people's opinions, actions, and behaviors than the media. Opinion leaders are seen to have more influence than the media for a number of reasons. Opinion leaders are seen as trustworthy and non-purposive. People do not feel they are being tricked into thinking a certain way about something from someone they know. However, the media can be seen as forcing a concept on the public and therefore less influential. While the media can act as a reinforcing agent, opinion leaders have a more changing or determining role in an individual’s opinion or action." -
