Trump used to be everywhere on social media. Now hes nowhere.

Donald Trump used to be everywhere on social media but lately, it feels like hes nowhere.
Many have noted just how little people have been talking about Trump from cable news to Google searches since he lost the election and was kicked off Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube four months ago.
New data Recode obtained from social media measurement firms Zignal Labs and CrowdTangle shows just how drastic the drop in conversation about Trump has been.
Mentions of Trump went down by 34 percent on Twitter and 23 percent on Facebook the week after he was banned from both platforms following the Capitol riot on January 6. Since then, Trump mentions have continued to decline around 90 percent on both platforms from where they were the week of the riots. (That decline may be even greater than what the current data reflects on Twitter because it doesnt include retweets and tweets from accounts that have since been deleted, like Trumps.)

(2,237 posts)On the one hand, he needs to be (metaphorically) curbstomped from the political landscape with no means to resurrect himself as an office-holder.
On the other hand, we have a lot of future-facing problems to work out.
For political junkies, these are not mutually exclusive; but low-info voters will potentially disengage.

Negative attention or adoration are the same to him.
Just so long as he is the center of your attention.
Ignoring a NPD is death to them.

(58,785 posts)must be getting adequate fixes elsewhere because elected Pubs are still running scared of them, even those who tried to break the party away from his control, notably McConnell and McCarthy, but were forced to resume obeisance.
Nevertheless, good, good, good! Always keeping in mind that they're desperate, enraged and committed. They could restore him or create a new leader if they lost him before Biden's fire hose knocks down their flames.
