Responding to the Trump campaign's spending on digital advertising on Facebook, Google, Instagram, YouTube, and other platforms, PACRONYM -- a new Democratic political action committee -- is committing $75 million to counter Republican lies on social media while providing a Democratic vision for post- Trump America. The PAC's digital campaign "Four Is Enough" will initially target battleground states Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, and will be active especially during the time until the party has a nominee. The group is accepting donations through the small- donor site ActBlue, and has already raised $30 million toward its goal.
Unless and until those social media platforms either follow Twitter's example and reject political ads, or make a serious effort to fact- check lying Trump/ Republican ads, Democrats have no choice but to carry the fight to these important media. This is an all- hands- on- deck election, and we need to match, and hopefully exceed, the resources the right is putting into re- electing The Chosen One. This is one strong option to consider if you're of a mind to make a donation.
