This incident should be something to think about the next time we look to social media in general, and X in particular, to measure the public opinion.
If you are using X to conduct political discourse, you are the internet equivalent of Bobby Boucher riding his lawnmower to the pep rally. There hasn't been a serious microblogging social movement since what, 2018?
