>We’re living through another tumultuous, dangerous moment in history.
Yes sir. Star Trek Strange New Worlds literally called it the freedom riots leading into the eugenics wars(abortion) into world war 3.
>Right here, in the United States of America, we just saw a sitting president deny the clear results of an election and help incite a violent insurrection at the nation’s capital.
We live in a dangerous moment because the democrats are seeing the republicans as evil violent insurrectionists.

That's not an insurrection and even left-biased wikipedia doesn't call it an insurrection. I believe calling it an attack is fair. They ransacked some politician's offices for 5 hours and then left while having no weapons and wearing costumes.
Obama does prove his point though. The disinformation of labeling this attack as an insurrection has even gotten to him?
>and are using it to justify laws that restrict the vote, making it easier to overturn the will of the people in states where they hold power.

>According to the Brennan Center for Justice, as of October 4, 2021, more than 425 bills that would restrict voting access have been introduced in 49 states—with 33 of these bills enacted across 19 states so far.
This is what Obama is referencing. He sees republicans in 49 states responding with state bills "restricting the vote" as direct result of the allegation the election was stolen. Seems like a widely held opinion?
>So inside our personal information bubbles, our assumptions, our blind spots, our prejudices aren’t challenged, they’re reinforced. And naturally we’re more likely to react negatively to those consuming different facts and opinions. All of which deepens existing racial and religious and cultural divides.
It's obvious the democrats have fallen ill of this problem.
>The fact that scientists developed safe, effective vaccines in record time is an unbelievable achievement.
So unbelievable some might even not believe it.
>People are dying because of misinformation.
I do believe everyone agrees with this. You disagree on what is the misinformation.
>President Trump’s own attorney general has said that the Justice Department uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
What happens if the AG did find fraud? Does Biden stop being president? Or do you just spark a civil war? He basically can never said there was fraud.
>And yet today, as we speak, a majority of Republicans still insist that President Biden’s victory was not legitimate. That’s a lot of people.
The majority of republicans... you know what we need? Disinformation governance board! We need re-education camps to inform them all of their mistakes. We need control over what they may see.
