Yes we live in the Age of Mimicry. The mimics are everywhere and they are us. Watching the Tonight Show and Trump being mimicked every night. The absurdity of Trump is certainly observable and laughable and dangerous. Lets jump to talking points, the Far Right has talking points led by Trump on fake news, Hillary, Russian influence, on and on. But, know the Far Left has talking points like Medicare for all, free education for all, more bureaucracy, more government. Understand that talking points are used to influence and reinforce a certain point of view.
The bias of the media has a mimic ingredient. Social media and Russian influence based on likes, hashtags and memes was-is really only using our mimicry to spread divisiveness and cause us destroy ourselves. Depending on the news source; Fox(left)MSNBC(right) mimics reign supreme.The truth is mimicked as is the false. So whom are we to trust? Joseph Goebbels said "If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself". The answer to all of this is to expose the lies and expose the truth and that is the job of a FREE PRESS. Is is up to the news media to find the truth and mimic the truth over and over until it is the TRUTH and thus achieve justice for us all.
