I doubt it.
This is just the latest "current event" that everyone will be an expert on overnight.
I bet if you polled all the people with strong opinions (in either direction) they would get most facts about the situation entirely wrong.
- vuln 4y agoIt's all so tiring.
- robswc 4y agoYou can say that again. It's actually crazy that now you can be gone from social media for 3-4 days and the entire environment has changed. Logged on to twitter to see my _entire_ timeline full of takes from every side of the the political spectrum. I can't even untangle it and I don't care too. My main issue is that _everyone_ presents having an "expert-like" grasp of the situation and knows _exactly_ what the solution is or isn't. It's exhausting.

- robswc 4y agoI just wish that you could rope everyone that had a strong opinion on this whole thing into a room without internet access and quiz them on the _most basic_ facts about the situation. I'm confident that you're right, 1/3 (or even more) wouldn't be able to even tell you what happened... yet they confidently declare solutions.
