re: #208 LeftyRambles2413 (HappyWarrior)

Just let me remember there was a time when this festering asshole wasn’t considered to be Presidential. That’s all my post was. I know what’s happened. I’ve been on FB from the start. I know how the new media operates and I don’t like it at all.

People voted for Trump because he successfully sold himself as the anti-politician. They wanted someone who was anything but Presidential, even if he was a festering asshole and blowhard showman.

When people started relying on FB news feeds for information on anything except friends, family and local music & events, I began to despair for the future of the Republic.

And when I saw that # Trending on Twitter # was a news item in itself, I saw how easy it was to generate and manipulate the narrative.
