Flooding the zone is a strategy. There always being 1000 things to be outraged about makes the opposition more scattered. It's harder to form a cohesive response because each individual can only effectively react to a limited number of things at any given time. This also points to one of the benefits of the right wing's media machine. The right also has many things to be outraged about at any given moment - Trump's movement is largely based on grievances. But the media machine is very effective at focusing the flock's ire in a small number of manageable directions. Those targets can shift day to day, even hour to hour, but the well coordinated machine keeps the flock from fracturing. Alas, despite the claims of the right, there is no left wing media machine to compete with the right's.
