re: Trump's "awful, violent" punching CNN gif tweet has 361,000 likes

CNN is basically a tabloid...but there are too many unstable people out there that may see this as an endorsement of violence against CNN.

Ignorance has friends too. Holiday weekends invite public displays larger than normal. We get it.

It's possible but I think that's even going out into the extreme. What's frustrating in my book is that it devolves dialogue even further when it feels like literally no one is above this petty teenage drama on social media.


The tweet was a small step towards idiocracy and another away from reasonable dialogue. Trump didn't start the issue but he sure is further normalizing a bunch of behaviors that we would be better without having mainstream
