No doubt, but I'm specifically referring to comment sections of news agency posts. I feel (very anecdotally) that it seemed like the reception was near universally positive in the immediate aftermath of the event and the day after, but checking the comments on newer posts from those same news media accounts today feels like a switch has flipped and the sentiments expressed are now much closer to a 50:50 positive to bootlicker ratio.
I don't know how accurate my observations are, and I partly posted this to see if others have noticed the same shift or if I am just extrapolating from too small of a sample size.
I’m very skeptical about “online is real life” rhetoric because as you alluded to, it’s just not a great sample size (you can’t assume the internet is American)
Yeah it’s so tough to tell because there are so many variables at play (emotion being a big one)
And a ton of people have been royally fucked over by private health insurance so I guess it comes down to whether their rage over that outweighs the rage brought about by their reactionary, political views
