    It's called algorithmic amplification.

    Facebook and other social media capitalize on capturing the attention of users, seeking to get them to stay online clicking on things.

    Facebook doesn't really care what is being clicked on. It's the number of clicks they are interested in.

    The longer they can keep a user online clicking away, the more opportunity they get to show them ads and sell advertising.

    The result of this is that people who had only a mild interest in anti-government messaging were bombarded with the stuff. All they cared to click on.

    This took people who would not have otherwise become so immersed in radical movements and threw them in the deep end of the pool.

    In just ten years we went from the "We're not a racist reaction to President Obama" Tea Party to the January 6th insurrection, complete with people dressed in tactical gear, confederate flags, violence, death and destruction.

    This is the radicalized Republican party we now have.

    Thanks Facebook.

    You really enlightened the world to a lot of hatred.
    Factually, simply and realistically spoken, the GOP/GQP and Repuke Party of un American atrocities that reside in tRump's sewer are sh!t when it comes to their relationship with Democracy, U.S. Constitutional law and the common decency of humanity on Earth.

    Lie. The Democrats do not recognize the Constitution of the United States nor the constitution of any State. The continually preach hatred of America. They have overthrown the federal government, the governments of the the States of California and New York, and are converting them into oligarchies to implement their fascism and communism.
    All they want to do is steal wealth, destroy liberty, a replace the United States with their own nightmare.

    It is the Democrats that are lawless. It is the Democrats that fund Antifa, the KKK, and BLM. It is Democrats funding rioting, looting, and pillaging in the streets. It is Democrats that attack the people of the United States. The United States was never a democracy. It was organized as a federated republic. It is Democrats that do not recognize the Constitution of the United States nor the constitution of any State. It is Democrats that have destroyed the federal government, and the governments of California and of New York.

    It is Democrats that are using Twitter, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon to censor people. It is Democrats the have distorted the schools, Hollywood, and the news media to push their agenda and censor any conservative views.

    It is Democrats that preach hate.

    The R party was radicalized by the Legacy R leaders constantly lying, rarely doing anything that they said that they wanted to do or even trying, and for being cucks for the Left.

    The End.

    It is Democrats that hate. The preach hate. The divide people by race, by sex, by anything to conquer them. It is Democrats that do not recognize the Constitution of the United States nor any state constitution.

    You are making an inversion fallacy.

    Name-calling is unlikely to cause those who are being called ugly things to warm up to the ideas of those doing the name-calling.

    If we want a nation where people take more responsibility for the future of the nation, we need to lead by example.

    We cannot expect any respect from the other side unless we ourselves are willing to give respect.

    The Republican Party has been cascading down the road to radicalization for longer than President Trump was in office.

    These are trying times for America, times when cooler minds must maintain the momentum of decency.

Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.
