POST FOURTH OF JULY SOCIAL MEDIA

Happy to report that on many local Facebook pages, the 4th of July commentary has been largely positive, uplifting, and praiseworthy of the president, the country, and the event itself. There are of course the usual bots, anonymous accounts, and/or trolling on one page, but these have been mostly ignored, the perpetrators left screaming into the void where no one is listening. It's been refreshing and a reminder that social media can have its moment. The 250th birthday of our nation is apparently it...at least for today. Enjoy your Sunday everyone.
