(11,186 posts)Honestly. Read that link. They had 1,200 followers total. And that's just social media followers. Not even active participants. I know people in their basement doing ASMR with more followers than that after a week. They had few posts and those seldomly had more than a dozen or so engagements.
Anyone can declare themselves Blank for Blank and start sending letters to sympathetic social and mainstream media. What authority do they command outside of managing to get media attention based on a desired narrative? Who do they speak for and represent with such a small number? With what power and influence have they been invested by the millions of Muslim women in this country?
I could form Sympthsical for Popsicles tomorrow and nab 1,000 people if I work at it a tiny bit.
Extremely loud but vanishingly small amount of people are pissed. Film at 11.
Edit: Oh dear God, they have all of 96 followers on Facebook. These people aren't even an entity. They're there for the media sound bite. And people are playing along - to the detriment of our candidate, I shall add.
