How Social Media Has Been An 'Engine For Radicalization' In The U.S. | Morning Joe | MSNBC
– *If you could reason with Trump supporters wouldn’t be Trump supporters* –
I read this elsewhere, are you a BOT???
Here, here! Perfectly stated. lol
@Shawn Corbin y, continues to be right on the nose. their response to anything tnat they dont 100 agree to is, fake news. like reasoning with a toddler.
agree get a new one, it is not even very good.
How do you reason with stupidity, I have a good friend who loves trump and also thinks Alex Jones is a patriot.
Graham is calling for unity funny how the only one that hasn’t called for unity is Trump.
@Cassidy McNamara here comes the butter up from Lady Lindsey!
@Susan Hewitt I suspect that isn’t butter – probably a product of the K-Y company.
Trump is the Worst Dictator Ever!!! He couldn’t even pull off a Coup Correctly..
Dumbest Strongman in the history of Mankind.
Actually he has, you would never see that on MSNBC though.
I don’t trust flip floppy Lindsay. He’ll speak out and then walk it back. What is it they remind him of? Dirty pictures? Laundered money? Someday it will come out.
America needs a serious education on what ‘free speech’ actually means.
Trump is the Worst Dictator Ever!!! He couldn’t even pull off a Coup Correctly..
Dumbest Strongman in the history of Mankind.
And about letting every dumbfuck run around with guns!
it’s clearly not what right wingers think it is
Republican traitors
I don’t think you would pass the test.
Social media might have been the engine, but Trump and his allies were the drivers.
They were the keys, the fuel, the oil and the drivers . 😍
@Suze 5 letter limit more likely.
The reason Social Media (who have freakin’ codes of conduct to use their garbage, ffs…) simply made the mistake of thinking people are better than they are. And they were so, soooo wrong, and even slower to meaningfully react because they tried to thread a needle of free speech & public opinion with both hands tied behind their backs and a bullseye painted on their foreheads, AND trying to turn revenue out every quarter.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
What about Joe and Mika’s responsibility? They platformed their “friend” Donald. Have they apologized for this and taken responsibility?

@Suze
Whatevs…
Me big dumb dumb, you so smart.
How is any of this a shock when Steve Bannon was with Trump and GOP from start Really?
@hew195050 You’re a joke. Let me know when you grow up kid.
@Chris A Ok
@Tim Thomas Ok.
@hew195050 still no courage? That is what I thought.
Of course he was, same with Milo Yiannapoulos; He was Breitbart’s editor, and Bannon was Breitbart CEO. On top of that, the majority stakeholder, Robert Mercer, who owned 60% stake in Breitbart, was Trump’s biggest campaign donor who gave Trump $30 million. And Trump appointed Bannon to be his chief campaign strategist & press secretary to replace Scaramucci & Kellyanne Connway.
It is not just Facebook and other social media. It is also his rallies. Trump’s rallies are frequent and full of lies and deception.
@Chris A I’ve got your dim whit dimly lit Trumpsters. Trump washed with BS coming Out of both ear’s Moron’s.
@Rmy1 Lmfao, so you are a moron. Thanks. You’re so pathetic.
@Rmy1 First of all, you can’t compose an intelligilble sentence. Secondly, I’m not a Trump supporter, so your accusation is just silly since it demonstrates you’re illiterate….as it also evinced by your knack for syntax, grammar, and spelling.
@Chris A your just smart enough to see that I give a Dam about your grade in grammar and syntax f you Trumpsters.
@Rmy1 Lmfao, you fooking troll. You’re funny sweetie.
Social media has been fuelling supremacism and fascism all over the world not only in the US&A. Glad you’re back into civilisation though.
I dumped FB 8 yrs ago after learning they had KLAN on their board of directors: Peter Theil..
Me too after we reported racist they did nothing 🚫FB.
I look at pinball machines for sale. I quit posting 2.5 yrs ago.
My girlfriend had a page with 3204 friends and she has a secret page of 300 friends.
I am not allowed to join.
Yeah it figures, Theil is an arch conservative and reactionary culture warrior from the word go.
Trump is just a symptom. People are so badly educated that they actually believe the nonsense. Reform education or the problem will not go away!
The education system is so far left that it’s terrifying.
all educators are dems. This is the globalists/communists agenda to give bad education, not Bannon;). This is the communist revolution: https://youtu.be/qxOzsFE7Nek
@Америка Любимая sure. Ahuh.
School vouchers, the public unionized education system has been abysmal.😲
In all due respect reform racist pathology and injustice and the healing MAY begin. I personally think that these violent, evil entities are terminal and beyond redemption!
Free speech comes with a responsibility for what is said. Purposely lying should carry consequences
@Rodney Short Cut across Shorty!
Republican traitors
You could not be more correct. They need accountability. Fine them for lies and they lie about someone, people need to bring a lawsuit against them every time. Hit them in their pocketbook.
That doesn’t mean you silence people because you disagree with them and that is what’s going on.
Saturday player this is MSNBC 😨
All these social media who support HATE and VIOLENCE needs to be SHUT DOWN for good.
That’s a slippery slope. Who gets to determine what is hate and violence? Sounds like a dictatorship.
👏
Interesting that is how Biden was “elected” hatred for Trump fueled by media.😲
@elroy the great all this hatred to each other it’s kind of sad.. the people that stormed the Capitol building.. I guess they wasn’t thinking about their innocent family members.. what this will do to their family.. I see violent crimes committed against the innocent family members..
@Karen Lee very sad. Well said.
I despise FB. I can’t believe how many people pathetically click their lives away on FB.
Fakebook subscribers need to evaluate the impact it has on their lives. Too many people are unaware of the damage.
And yet you folks click on Mika and Joe, who were Trump’s biggest champions in non-Fox mainstream media in 2016.
@Lord Vader The Leftie totally
Me too. I deleted it a year and a half ago and never looked back. Now a few former friends base their belief systems on FB and it’s skewed. I have no time for people who get their news there. NONE!
@David salo trump subscribers should do the same 😂🤣
Steve Bannon is an enemy of the people. He really needs to be arrested as such.
This is the communist revolution: https://youtu.be/qxOzsFE7Nek
Traitors like him will get their final comeuppance…he’s unwell..byeeeee
He was arrested last year but he’s probably back out by now
Barnacle here to interrupt her expertise with his confidence
There is nothing in this report that wasn’t known in the 90’s. The monetization of social media has always been a stupid and dangerous idea.
Clinton said 20yrs ago
Controlling the internet, is like trying to nail jello to a wall…
Education. There’s a reason why they go after educators, universities and expertise.
Duh Donald made America weaker, poorer, sicker, and stupider r…byeeee
When trump and his enablers sends their people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you…They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing crime. They’re essential terrorist.
Trump is the Worst Dictator Ever!!! He couldn’t even pull off a Coup Correctly..
Dumbest Strongman in the history of Mankind.
Joe and Mika were Trump enablers. #facts
Don’t believe me? Google their track record on Trump. They supported and platformed Trump in 2016.
…Zuckerberg is terrified of being grilled by a British Committee…he avoids England like the plague…why is that…?
THE ELCTORAL COLLEGE has to be blamed for tRumpism and his SS SOLDERS on STREETS and in CAPITOLS … STOP BLAMING OTHERS FOR YOUR OWN FAILS
Trump murdered 400,000 great Americans and he’s not done yet.
