I mean that was said in sarcasm, but there is a lot of discussion going on that the changing methods of communication can be having significant ramifications in all aspects of society.
People have made arguments stating that Trump is a manifestation of anti-social behaviors that are reliant on reinforcement through online echo-chambers which remove any form of social-moderation. The extent of which I agree with this arguments I'm not quite certain, but I do think from a sociology standpoint it's foolish not to investigate how the internet's changes to how we communicate have lead to changes in how we think, and potentially our collective political leanings.
Media theory is really fascinating when you dig in to it, and we should be mindful that we're still in the early days of the internet in the grand scheme of things, and society is still adjusting to what will forever be the new normal.
