I get your point. Social media has really changed the way we communicate and talk about politics, but the truth is that it doesn’t fully represent the reality on ground. Many people who vote are not even active on social media, especially in rural areas, so online discussions don’t always reflect election results. Also, politicians know how to use social media to their advantage, they spread distractions, shift focus, and even use citizens against each other just to push their agenda. The major issue is political ignorance. Until more people become politically aware and can think for themselves, it will be easy for politicians to manipulate public opinion.

Exactly 💯.
It is quite tricky, I'm aware of those who lack political awareness or literacy. There are also others who are aware of the dubious schemes our political leaders use social media for but they still choose to feign ignorance due to what they stand to gain by promoting the propaganda. Some of these people are known as social media influencers.

Even if people refuse to believe what politicians are saying on social media but ehen they hear it from their favourite influencers, would they not comply?

I appreciate your incredible contribution, thanks for stopping by 🤗
