(Trick Question: If you controlled the top twenty corporations, you'd control a majority percentage of each of the top ten nations.)
I disagree. I think bad disruption of the kind you describe will cause a whiplash effect. When people realize how much this damages the core of society, they'll demand a return to norms.
However, this may split the country in two. There will be those of us who demand some adherence to objective facts. And there will be the idiots who wish to craft their own realities.

Crafting one's own reality indeed. Like many people in tech, you are using the word "disruption" to pretend that you are saying something when you're not. If you ever figure out how "politics" should be "disrupted," please post about it here.

You are just so infatuated with this kind of vacuous both-sidesism. "Huckabee isn't doing anything unique." Mind-boggling.
