>>14121>>14122I'm inclined to think that there's maybe a kind of "fallacy of composition" occurring?
Like if all one knew about those who voted for Trump in 2016 was what one saw from looking at terminally online Trump activists 4chan, Reddit, and YouTube, then one might the sense that like, say, Trump is running with the goal of putting all transgender people into concentration camps and declaring war on Mexico. And so on. All sorts of online rants occurring.
While those people did, indeed, exist, basic mathematical facts that can't be disputed state that most registered voters who marked a spot for Trump on the ballot didn't give money to his campaign. Didn't knock on any doors. Didn't make any phone calls. Didn't buy and show off new clothing to push some sort of thing. They expressed collectively a lot of nuanced opinions, ranging from disdain to Hillary Clinton to emotional loyalty to the Republicans to whatever else. An obsessive dude on Reddit with a face covered in huge tattoos and a closet filled with hoarded Confederate memorabilia DOES reflect a certain percentage of the U.S. population on the 'right', however it's defined, but has little connection to most in that bigger group. And, naturally, that specifc dude probably went from trolling about Trump in the 2010s to about Putin in the 2020s.
It's sort of like how wheels and tires are a noticeable part of a modern car, but it would be a logical fallacy to think of building a whole car as the same as putting a pile of those metal and rubber bits into a circle and just waving a magic wand.
tl; dr we should have a frogposter genocide taking care of those with like lolicon as their phone wallpapers and allow normal conservatives alongside all other normal people to live without being besides all that shit
