I had to have a conversation with my wife over this yesterday. She ran into the office in tears because opposing protestors were standing off with guns as if it was the American revolution.
The reality of the situation is a couple people had paintball guns but that’s not what she saw.
What she had seen was a tweet about a tweet referencing another tweet that in turn referenced a video.
While I know this example is extreme, it really opened my eyes to just how far we have come.
