Stop sharing Josh Hawley’s posts and videos. You’re only increasing his reach and allowing him to build a dangerous platform of perceived persecution and misinformation.

This started with Trump. They know how to use these sites to their advantage.

Hawley is daring you to share his message of perceived persecution and playing on your natural instinct to prove him wrong that he isn’t silenced.

Social media isn’t a conversation, it’s an economic and political platform. We have to learn that from our past.

The Right knows moderates and liberals can’t stand being called biased or unfair and so they create a “moderate” space that moves discourse to the right. This has worked in papers, on TV, and now social media. Don’t enable this. Recognize it and recalibrate.

Outrage sharing only builds platforms and adds to impressions and reach. This is why outlets publish clickbait outrage pieces. A share is a share is a share.

We have to examine our habits and recognize they’ve contributed to this crisis. We have to change.
