28. I so wish it were

But we have to face the fact that 33% of the electorate opposed fascism, 34% supported fascism, and 33% didn't vote, so they chose fascism by default.

Using social media to sway people is disinformation/propaganda, not vote "rigging". "Rigging" an election is very hard and very illegal when you get caught. Voter SUPPRESSION and LYING is VERY effective and entirely LEGAL.
