Abstract
The role of political advertising in the democratic process today is drastically more impactful than it used to be few decades ago. With the rise of social media, we are observing political changes like never seen before. In my research, I dissect the role of Facebook advertising in 2020 US elections. I have outlined how Facebook political advertising has taken it to new levels of personalization and use of propaganda. I also look at how this budget allocation works online. This research is an important building block for the next decade of research on this topic because so far only few US elections have been witnessed under the era of Facebook advertising. In fact, many countries in the world such as Pakistan and India have not yet discovered this political tool of messing with the democratic process.
