Sixty-Four Percent of Americans Think Social Media Divides More Than Unite
A new NBC poll reveals astonishing news: Most Americans who use social media more than once a day think platforms like Facebook and Twitter are doing more to divide us than to bring us together. Really?
A majority cuts across party lines:
- Republicans . 77 percent
- Independents . 65 percent
- Democrats . 54 percent
Age categories:
- Young adults . 61 percent
- Seniors . 71 percent
A few takeaways:
- If Republicans stopped their campaigns of hate, maybe, just maybe, their numbers would go down. Way, way down.
- The poll also says 27 percent of all American adults think Facebook and Twitter do more to bring us together: WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!
- Social Media platforms aren’t doing a damn thing – it’s the insane people using the platforms with the sole purpose of spewing hate and divisiveness. If ya don’t like what’s being propagandised on the platforms, do yourself a favour – sign off; volunteer at a food bank or your local board of elections.
