Social Media Is Corroding Our Democracy

On October 18, 2017, Chayenne Polimedio from Washington Monthly  published article titled Social Media Is Corroding Our Democracy  . The audience that the author is reaching out to is social media users. The world of social media has taken over globally and the word about anything can go viral in a matter of seconds. Donald trump and social media easily combine  as the president is always tweeting about every little thing that is wrong with our nation and what he will do to help us and fix it. I agree that that social media is somewhat controlling the government because people easily influence so many minds just by posting or tweeting what they have on there mind and people believe it and which just changes the course of everything. The nation has to worry about fake news as people try to post so many negative posts about the government so people can act on it and change the government more. This years election was based a lot on social media as people made so many funny post about Donald Trump and try to ruin the election so he wont become president but you also have the trump supports that will fight back on the internet and make post about Hillary Clinton. So pretty much there is a small war on the internet about how this country should be running. The people of the internet are controlling the government one step at a time.
