(65,088 posts)I have long believed they are what the rude has stated, pretty much completely useless. They are just ego satisfying stupidy of owning the so and sos
BUT
In the hands of a narcissist, those platforms become weaponized
we are heading for a civil war. No matter what we do, its coming
WHY?
Because, as someone else said in here, if the orange asshole runs for re-election, Twitter will have to let him back on or else they ban all politicians from Twitter. (Equal time and all that)
Once hes back on, we are, in a word, fucked
As I have long said, we as a nation are sleep walking into a second civil war.
And what I find truly amazing about our current atmosphere in this nation, it appears that our current form of democracy can not, will not or isnt able to stem the rising tide of fascism in this nation.
There appears to be so much political correctness among our elected Dems, that they will continue to argue amongst themselves while the country slides further into the pit.
I said back in October, unless they convict and start putting people in prison by April of 2022, we are fucked. The election cycle begins in ernest then and any investigation, trial or hearing will be purposely shouted down by the media.
The simple fact that the Dems have painted themselves into a corner of being the adults in the room that any time they wish to use the same tactics of rhetoric and hyperbole that the repukes employ, they get called out on it by the MSM, but not the repukes when they do it. Because the MSM expects the repukes to be shitheads
So here we are, trying to be honest, truthful and law abiding and the result? Death by 1000 cuts
Democracy in this nation will slowly bleed to death.
All I have to say to the repukes is this: remember Robespierre? He eventually was put to death via the Guillotine aka be careful what you wish for
