If the majority hide their political views then there is no way to engage with them and ever present your side on issues. Which migh sound bad but is actually a natural response to being forcefully fed extreme ends of political stances. So the debate over media and internet missinformation might be for nothing. People adapt arround obstacles. In the end there could only be bots responding to bots and campaign members patting eachother on the back for the number of likes the bots generated.

> If the majority hide their political views then there is no way to engage with them and ever present your side on issues. Was this ever true? Do the majority of companies encourage talk about religion or the majority of churches encourage talk about politics? The people react to stimuli like {media, campaigns, bots} just like they do any other marketing: there is a game theory response to stimuli. If they get overwhelmed on one platform, they will change habits (eg. move to a different platform, discuss only in person where there are no bots, discuss these topics less). I suspect campaigns have been around long enough that more people (with the help of information widely distributed on the internet) have gained a different tolerance to the same old campaign tricks.
