I can elaborate. That you've elevated disinformation as a major societal issue that needs to be solved is itself a particular partisan talking point put out by Democrats to explain Hillary's loss in 2016. Trump never had the temperament to be a good president. He should not have been voted in and Hillary was a better candidate ... but he did get voted in because millions of your fellow citizens voted him in. But he was such anathema to the core Democratic base that it became permissible to brake every norm, break every rule and right, including gaslighting and lying, just to get him.

So underneath this 'concern' of yours is not a good faith attempt to tackle this problem objectively. You want a laser focus on your political opponents while you continue to turn a blind eye to the disinformation, misinformation, gas lighting and outright lies that Democratic party, along with mainstream media (which ostensibly became the PR department for the party) and Big Tech engaged in pushing one conspiracy theory after another, week after week after week for the entire Trump presidency.
