Thus, we have people who lay dormant and silent for the most part of their lives, suddenly becoming alive, bolder and for many, even more offensive as they express their politics on social media during election season.

THERE are some people who think being hyperactive on social media will compensate for the guilt they bear for doing nothing as our country burns, or as Covid-19 spreads like wildfire, effectively taking down livelihoods and lives. The inconsistency and the emptiness of their rhetoric is simply damning.Fortunately, they are not the majority. Unfortunately, they are a noisy minority.

It is most unfortunate that this organic power is now being eroded by political partisanship that has been fanned by demagoguery and intense political vitriol, particularly on social media. And the feeling that drives this is when people begin building fences instead of gates and windows when they deal with others.It is here that the Schumpeterian mode of democracy has taken its toll.
