re: Obama's advice to Trump: Don't use executive orders too much

So. Are you still going to deny that the prevalence of dissenters you hear are due to the development of social media and giving every Tom dick and Harry a voice that reaches millions in seconds?

Are you saying that there are more people with political opinions today than 50 years ago?

You see, 50 years ago you might hear your families political ideas. Maybe your neighbors. Or a few close friends.

Did you know the political ideas and opinions of the folks 20 miles away? 50? 100? 1000? OF COURSE YOU DIDN'T.

Does that mean that they didn't have political opinions? Nope! Simply means you didn't have a way to access their opinions.


Now fast forward to today where anyone can say anything and it be heard on the other side of the globe in damn near real time.


Social media fave the average person a voice that can be heard. That is why there are "more" dissenters today than 20 years ago.

You simply have a means to hear their opinions you didn't have 50 years ago.
