OPINION:
We are electing unqualified people to political offices based on their ability to master the output of Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
The newest group in Congress exhibit this dangerous phenomenon, with greenhorn Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez the leader of a group that includes leftist, anti-American anarchist Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.
Miss Ocasio-Cortez has 4 million Twitter followers, whom she instantly contacts and influences with her anarchistic and anti-American views. Other politicians, including presidential hopefuls Beto O’Rourke, Elizabeth Warren, Peter Buttigieg and Kamala Harris, have developed large numbers of Twitter followers and they are all unqualified candidates for president. President Trump, who spews venomous rhetoric at times, instantly accesses about 60 million followers on Twitter.
The problem with social media is that followers can be quickly contacted and mobilized for any effort, even one that might be detrimental to our country. Dictators of the world have been experts in contacting and mobilizing the masses for dire purposes.
