What we have witnessed since Trump’s election in late 2016, is an attempted destruction of our republic. Outrageous right? Well, when you look through the details of exactly how the Deep State attempted to accomplish its goal of eliminating Trump, it becomes very clear there was no consideration of the impact this would have on the republic. With the advent of social media, the lies and misreprestations leaked to the legacy media outlets, spread like fires through a dry forest pitting citizens against citizens.
Glenn Reynolds (a/k/a Instapundit) recently published a book “The Social Media Upheaval” in which he outlines how devastating impact such organizations have on society. As he points out , part of the problem with the social media organizations is their monopoly often allows them to “selectively silence some those voices and amplify others.” While we all expect the truth to win out most of the time, a truth never heard cannot supplant a lie told and rebroadcasted a million times on social media.
