Twitter Wars

..Seriously. There has to be a way to divorce politicians from social media. Nothing is real anymore. There aren't any consequences for anything anymore. This is dangerous.

It's such an odd use of pronunciation.

The other day he put begged in quotes... 'He "begged" me'. And today he puts this weird apostrophe at the end of Liddle'. What? Liddl'? Lidd'l? What do you mean man

And spider, we need a new Constitution. One which spells out how elected officials must act in office

Spider misses the real problem, but that isn't surprising.

The problem isn't Twitter, or social media. I wish capable and professional politicians used Twitter a bit more like Trump does, in that he explains his "decision making." The problem is that Trump is a literal moron, so of course him putting his unedited, unfocused thoughts directly to the world is a bad idea, and of course his decision making process is non-existent. But I wish other politicians were as candid as Trump is.

It doesn't have to be personal attacks, it doesn't have to be fake news. It could be more like FDR's fireside chats, and that would be a positive development. You don't have to throw the baby out with the bathwater - Presidents interacting with the public is a good thing. Further, a President who can use social media adeptly is going to have a big one-up over the next few decades. People are just responding to it so negatively because the current President is a retard.

Fake news is the real enemy, no matter what the media format is.

Social media is destroying society at so many different levels. It's really impressive. It's laying waste to political and social and interpersonal and societal bedrocks of modern civilization at an astounding rate.

I should go back to being a nihilistic libertine since this is all gonna burn down anyway.
