@kel that's what happens when certain politicians have a bigger audience than they used to have << social media has encouraged the politician's, by giving them that audience, and with that it then encouraged others to voice their repulsive opinions and feel validated
Its snowballed over the years & big part of why - that stuff used to be seen on 4chan and other more extreme sites now since politician's have "normalised" it on "main stream" social media people have come out of the "darkness"
