As bleak as things look sometimes, I keep there is an overwhelming positive people overlook.

Because of the internet and social media we now know a lot more about what is going on. 50 years ago, 100 years ago we would have been clueless and things would get worse and worse.

Now we all see what is going on and that has a very positive effect for change.

There is a bad side to the internet, which reminds me of a Reagan quote about liberals not being dumb, but just knowing so many things that aren’t true.

The memes on the internet condense complicated issues into one phrase and a cartoon...usually slanted to the left or even outright false. And sadly, a lot of people believe everything they see on the internet.

I agree there is an upside, in that the left cannot completely craft the news...but I just think the left has cynically raced to the bottom and are now pandering to the dumbest among us on the web.
