Lol! Most people get their information from social media. Most people interact with others on social media.
Most Republicans have been called “racist, bigot, misogynist, shitty, worthless, non-human, “Nazis” who deserve to be cast out if not “removed permanently” from society!!!” on social media.
For no other reason than they had a differing opinion than the hive-mind did.
The media didn’t have to tell me that liberals were belittling me.
Biden also called Trump supporters “garbage”. Clinton called us “deplorable”. And I have a funny suspicion that you don’t disagree. We have been dehumanized. I have to try my hardest to make it clear that I am, in fact, NOT a fucking Nazi before I post something that I know will be considered “Nazi speak”, just because it isn’t blind alegence to the Democratic candidate.
So…yeah…you can’t act like this is something the media implanted into our minds.
But muh TikTok!!!
And also: it’s racist to ban social media platforms…or whatever…I don’t know. Whatever garbage is usually spewed anytime a platform that leans heavily left is about to get shut down.
