I’m glad someone else realized this too.
I realized something, ever since 2016 we have been trained by the media to constantly be outrage over words that may never become actions.
So now I only care if an action is made. All this “news” about trolls trolling the world is just a big nothing burger that you don’t need to know unless you actually work in politics.
I would go as far as to say it should become a rule on some news subs that a controversial figure saying something controversial is not news.
It's not an unpopular opinion if we look at declining viewership of news channels or readers canceling newspaper subscriptions.
