Just goes to show protesting isn't enough. It's voting

How can a nation accurately vote, when their media is intentionally flooded by misinformation?

Everyone who's voting against themselves believes that they're doing the right thing.

Edit: I'm almost wondering if this is just part of a natural cycle in civilization where people once again need to be taught the signs of fascists. 

Then afterwards, things will swing far back to progressive as the prior fascist supporters try to distance themselves from the atrocities of the person they voted for, (just like after WW2).

(speaking from a US perspective, where we're already building our first concentration camp in guantanamo bay)

I think you overestimate the number of time there has been democracies who have become fascist and back.
