Twitter Tantrums | Carina Cabriales, 2018
|
A Twitter Tantrum, as defined by urban dictionary, occurs “when a Twitter user is at odds with one or more of his/her fellow Twitterers. This is typically characterized by a confrontational exchange of "tweets" during which threats are made to unfollow (block), etc. This is not atypical behavior considering the often self-absorbed and self-serving personality traits of the participants and their insatiable need for attention and validation.” These words also accurately describe the 45th president. Through his tweets he has appealed to white supremacist rhetoric and validated and endorsed racist, misogynistic, hateful, and violent behavior and mindsets. He has made it OK to be dishonest, he has made it OK to morally bankrupt, he has made it OK to objectify women. Unfortunately and with regularity, more of these hurtful, divisive, hateful words come from our 45th president every day. THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
