Ug...stereotyping one side as nothing but dumb racist uneducated rednecks and the other as just riotous butt hurt sjw blm gender studies majors does nobody any good
facts are facts. Trump pulled the uneducated vote. it isnt opinion. it isnt opinion. it is fact. i travel often. i see rural americana. i havent met any people of color jumping to vote Trump. they werent excited by Hillary. But def didnt see anything in a wealthy, ultra conservative white guy who honestly is a bigot.
people have been protesting for a while I don't think social media has much to do with it.
Our preacher was talking in a men's Bible class 2-3 years or so ago about social media and how the generation coming up is using it to voice whatever they're thinking in their head and putting it out there for the public to see, and how we don't know the consequences of that yet, but that it wasn't a healthy practice.
I think these protests are a byproduct of that. People thinking their opinion has to be heard and/or that theirs is more important than others' opinions/voices.
Not to this scale and frequency. This has come about in the last couple years.
And after an election they didn't like the results of?
Also I'm.not saying social media is the sole reason for it. The participation trophy aspect plays a role too I think.
There was this thing called the Vietnam war that had a few...in fact in my mind feet on the ground protesting is the antithesis of social media as it is real.
Liberals by design are built for protest. Social media may help them stir the pot but if our virtual society somehow crumbled tomorrow they would be outside protesting about it.
This is one of the Big reasons why Trump won: people stereotyping people and name-calling.
Also as someone else already pointed out. Trump was far from ultra conservative. One of the main reasons I didn't vote for him was that I didn't think he was a conservative nor would govern as a conservative.
No I most definitely agree with that however I don't think social media is really much of a factor of the left hitting the streets.
