Fight Trump Disinformation en Espanol - Voto Latino

As Sabrina Rodriguez and Marc Caputo report in Politico, ‘This is f---ing crazy’: Florida Latinos swamped by wild conspiracy theories’, Trump is focusing on swinging the Latinx vote, as Spanish speaking residents of South Florida are inundated with wildly inflammatory disinformation, through WhatsApp chats, Facebook feeds and radio programming. Politico reports that “The sheer volume of conspiracy theories — including QAnon — and deceptive claims are already playing a role in stunting Biden’s growth with Latino voters, who make up about 17 percent of the state’s electorate.”

Here is how the tech sector is helping Trump: “The GOP under Trump mastered social media, especially Facebook use, in 2016 and even Democrats acknowledge that Republicans have made inroads in the aggressive use of WhatsApp encrypted messaging.” They have wasted no time filling people’s feeds and messages with extremist conspiracy theories and disinformation.

One way you can counter this is by volunteering with Voto Latino, which has endorsed Biden. Voto Latino registers voters and gets the vote out - and is focused on the extremely damaging policies of the Trump administration, not the details of the GOP cabal of racist and misogynist personalities.
