On: Yes, social media is undermining democracy

Yea, I guess you could call experiencing a violent coup attempt "activated". If the majority of social media engagement is people believing dubious stories and memes by hating the other side, then the engagement is worthless.

Well if people believing there was a violent coup attempt gets them to the polls, then so be it!
