If one focuses only on Our Military Leader (OML), it would seem that American political discourse is no better than it was two and a half years ago.
But there are signs of change. Surprisingly, one sign came out of the so-called conference on social media at the White House yesterday. It seems that as part of his meanderings OML complained that his Twitter(R) posts no longer sky-rocket in popularity. Well, that is interesting. It seems we have here not only a personal admission of a decline in the popularity of his media posts, but a news item of significance.
The significance is that it appears that at least in one area, blather, and histrionics are not as popular as they once were. This should not be surprising to people who retain a belief in the basic truth and goodness of people and things as such.
But it is a battle, is it not? A real knock-down drag-out battle. And yet through new social media policies and a faintly visible desire on the part of social media companies to intensify their enforcement of pre-existing policies, vitriol may yet be brought under control.
Before this we could only dimly hope. Now there is evidence of improvement.
