Let’s say I accept your framing where for some reason Twitter is the only representative social media.
The political right and center-left are much more aligned with the average American than the progressive left. Half the country is right-wing. Half of who’s left is center-left.
Any space dominated solely by progressives is definitionally not real life.
The issue isn’t the political framing that makes Twitter a poor predictor for real life. It’s the kind of chronically online people who dominate the spaces. They aren’t representative of the overwhelming majority of real life people who identify as conservative, moderate, progressive, or whatever.
Hell yeah brother, bring it on!
Love to see it! Been a big fan of Jeremiah's work for a while now, I'm excited to see what comes of this.
When progressive liberals were more rampant across social media like Twitter: “The internet/Twitter is not real life.”
When Twitter is run by a largely right wing ecosystem and the liberals left are largely centrists: “ The internet is real life”
lol
