Replying to @GadSaad
I believe in clinical terms… this is projection.
Democrats taught us that every family connection, business deal and dinner is fair game when you’re asking for power. They spent four years and roughly $32 million on the Mueller investigation, which never established a conspiracy.
Now the same people say one question about a Senate candidate’s family and the Muslim Brotherhood is racist. I’m not changing the rules. I’m just following the ones they wrote.
A study of 2.2 million congressional tweets found that Democrats are disproportionately driving the rise in angry political rhetoric.
There’s a reason this works so well.
Anger and fear narrow attention, accelerate reactions, and can make people less likely to question what they’re being told.
Add selective framing, a constant stream of crises, and the suggestion that questioning the narrative means betraying your side. You’ve got a pretty effective way to keep people emotionally invested.
And social media rewards every bit of it.
The politicians get engagement. The platforms get traffic. Meanwhile, people are so busy reacting to the latest outrage that there’s little attention left for evaluating actual results.
I think we should be asking why so much political messaging seems designed to keep people angry rather than informed.
Because someone is clearly benefiting from it.
There’s something revealing about people who seem to get satisfaction from tearing others down. Belittling someone offers a temporary feeling of superiority. It’s a convenient substitute for confronting your own insecurities and shortcomings.
I intentionally left the author’s name out. She’s easy enough to find, but I’m not interested in rewarding this behavior with more attention.
