This is not partisan to the right. And if you think it is, you're part of the problem. Trump and Alex Jones do not accurately represent reality, I agree. And America suffers because of it. But just yesterday, the hottest trending topic was "Make Whites Great Again," because someone found a photo of a guy who looked like the Minnesota cop wearing a MAGA hat, and edited America to White, and Twitter went ballistic thinking it was the cop who killed that guy. Buildings burned down and people got injured (maybe died) yesterday because of it.
- soylentcola 6y agoI don't typically keep track of Twitter drama so I had to look this up. Apparently, the photo in question wasn't a 'shop, but rather a well-known troll specifically looking to stir shit up.
- kolbe 6y agoI'm not particularly sucked into the drama either, but I just want to note that this is a problem that transcends partisan politics. And if someone says the solution is to ban specific partisan targets, then they're more likely people who are part of the problem than people who are genuinely looking to fix it. This will never be fixed by people who think their side's misrepresentations of reality are for the greater good, but the other side's is destroying the world.
