"Today, demagogues don’t actually need to silence or censor their opponents. It
turns out their followers are quite happy to succumb to wilful blindness,
believing what they want to believe even as contradictory evidence stares them
in the face."

There must be a way to fight the echo chambers of tribalism and bigotry.  It
requires reaching people who want to believe it.
