Maybe I just have a lower opinion of the electorate than some. Maybe I have seen too many man on the street interviews that cant even name who the vice president is or voters believing that the election of Obama meant that they no longer had to worry about their mortgage (I guess with Obama, that is still a possibility). So I do think that Facebook has great influence on some.
They do, and it does. However, when I watch those interviews, I realize that they are selectively edited for the most dumb, most idiotic people out there. It’s for shock value.
I don’t think people on the whole are quite that dumb. Yet.
