Agreed.
That said, Pew recently published that 10% of Twitter users account for 92% of all activity and that 70% are Democrats (not sure how they ascertained political affiliation). In addition, virtually all polls oversample Dems (because many conservatives refuse to participate) and that oversampling is calculated to estimate what the results would have been had there been equal participation.
The point of making these observations is that it has become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to get a true gauge on public sentiment.
And I agree with the poster that it feels a lot like October of 2016. Trump was a punchline for leftists even days prior to the election. The smugness of pundits and left-leaning internet election experts was immeasurable. As were their tears and vitriol in the days following the election.
