Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts Spring 2021 An Abstract of the Thesis of Emily Fowler for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Political Science to be taken Spring 2021 (Dis)information Warfare: The 2016 Election, Russian Hackers, and U.S. Democratic Precarity Approved: ______Daniel Tichenor, Ph.D.__________ Primary Thesis Advisor The 2016 election of Donald J. Trump irrevocably changed the course of American democracy by revealing the malevolent soft power of disinformation warfare in the American electoral system. Russian troll accounts operated by artificial intelligence bots systematically targeted voters on behalf of Mr. Trump to alter behavior and elicit polarizing reactions, cultivating his campaign of fearmongering and racism. Voters of color in key battleground districts—which won Mr. Trump the Electoral College—were marginalized through campaigns slandering Hillary Clinton’s record with Black and Latinx voters. The 2019 special counsel report by Robert Mueller confirmed that Russian disinformation Internet trolls worked to sow discord within the American public in the 2016 election—but what does this reveal about the sustainable future of the United States’ democracy as technology continues evolving? What do these campaigns reveal about the targeted audience for foreign actors and consulting firms? Through my research, I aim to correlate the history of disinformation with the future development of artificial intelligent technologies.

Chapman made use of the ideas of the German educator Friedrich Froebel to argue that the growth of the whole man depended upon his creative interaction with others for unselfish ends (Causes, 83-112). Chapman's emphasis on the fundamental bond between creative self- expression and cooperative activity closely paralleled the educational theories of John Dewey and others among the Progressives. Such ideas lent support to the view that individual creativity and disinterestedness were two sides of the same coin. 16. Croly, The Promise of American Life, 22, 103, 411, 417 et passim. 17.

  • The Underestimated Oregon Presidential Primary of 1960
    The Underestimated Oregon Presidential Primary of 1960 By Monroe Sweetland 0 PresidentJohn E Kennedy on a visit to Astoria, Oregon, in September 1963 This content downloaded from 71.34.78.7 on Mon, 25 May 2020 18:39:50 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms The Friday in Oregon that Made Kennedy President In 1964, Monroe Sweetland, Oregon journalist and legislator and one of thefirst Kennedy organizers in Oregon, wrote this piece about the significance of the 1960 Oregon Primary. Friday, May 20, 1960, was a judgment day which could bring impetus or disaster to the Kennedy-for-President campaign - the Democratic Primary in Oregon. The bandwagon had been rolling well. Each of the six contested primaries - six potential roadblocks - had been cleared. From the beginning in New Hampshire through the rugged battles with Senator Hubert Humphrey in Wisconsin and West Virginia, the Democratic voters had thawed and then warmed to John E Kennedy. Just as the Oregon Trail had been bordered long ago with the bleached bones of those who tried but didn't quite make it, Kennedy's campaign craftsmen knew that defeat in Oregon could be decisive. The growing image of Kennedy as "a winner" could be extinguished by a rebuff in Oregon as convention-time neared. Oregon was the last of the seven contested primaries. It was the only primary testing opinion in the Far West - that terra incognita, to the Bostonians, which lay beyond the Farm Belt. To the Kennedy forces Oregon did not look good, but it couldn't be avoided.

  • Wayne Morse: Presidential Medal of Freedom
    WAYNE LYMAN MORSE 1900 – 1974 United States Senator – Educator – Arbitrator “Every American has three Senators. His own and Wayne Morse.” © Wayne Morse Historical Park Corporation, June 2000 and July 2010. INTRODUCTION Wayne Lyman Morse is celebrated for his legacies of independent judgment and integrity throughout his public service as a renowned federal labor arbitrator and four-term United States Senator from Oregon. He led the University of Oregon‟s School of Law for 14 years, where he was the nation‟s youngest law school dean at the time of his appointment. While today most Americans acknowledge the Vietnam War was a serious mistake, forty-six years ago Wayne Morse was a lonely voice opposing it. He and Senator Ernest Gruening of Alaska were the only opponents of the 1964 Tonkin Gulf Resolution which increased American involvement in the Vietnam conflict. They stumped the nation challenging the war‟s constitutionality and morality. Morse went on to vote against every measure that would keep American troops in Vietnam. He never faltered in his belief that the only hope for world peace was to substitute international law for military might. Morse was a passionate, courageous legislator. He provided vigorous leadership to the effort to strengthen public education in the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations. He advanced and protected the rights of organized labor and the free collective bargaining process. He worked resolutely for civil rights and the general welfare of the people. He championed the public interest and an individual‟s constitutional rights. He argued unwaveringly for the pre- eminence of the rule of law in the conduct of national and international affairs.
