My darkest fear is that they’re going to go for a very crude but even more toxic version of Rehoboam from Westworld via an integrated series of AI systems designed to target specific unstable people and convince them to go postal on election day.

Like, yes, social media bots will be a part of that, but the capabilities are already in place to go so far beyond, and this is a target rich environment full of people who have largely given up on democracy and having to win elections.
