Insanity is taking one idiot's thoughts from twitter and assuming an entire political movement shares that thought.

I agree.

However, this shows the downside of social media. It used to be that one fricking moron (regardless of your political bent) could really only (potentially) infect their close circle of friends with their stupidity. Now, this ridiculous thought can be share with millions in a matter of minutes leading others to have the same ridiculous thoughts. Does anyone thing the "anti-vaccination" moment gains any legitimate traction without social media? Hell, there was a thread a few months ago showing backlash against Chipoltle Restaurant because some jack arse who didn't know what a bay leaf was tweeted out a message picked up by thousands (if not more) that Chipoltle was was putting "back yard leaves" in their food

It's wrong to extrapolate the dumb statements of one person to an entire large group of people. But when everyone now has a "voice" via social media, it allows the dumbest among us to be heard just as equally as more rational thinkers. Unfortunately, the people who are by and large the more rational thinkers don't go to social media to publish every thought/opinion that pops in their head.

Those idiots might not share this thought but they are at a minimum idiots because they support the movement that doesn't support their actual beliefs.

Maybe I am an optimist but I don't think a lot of people on the voting side of the left actually support the lefts agenda on most of their stupid beliefs. Just fooled in believing the right is evil when it is just the opposite!
