Bernie Bros and the Internet of beefs

What if you can’t win the presidency without an online mob?

What if we now live in a world where having a bullying, agro social media army running around popping anyone who sticks their head up is either an important ingredient for, or a critical marker of, success?

I’m not saying this is the case. But we ought to at least consider it to be a hypothesis.

And the more you think about it, the more this would seem to dovetail with the Internet of Beefs theory.

All of which is to say that we’re spending entirely too much time wringing our hands about Bernie’s bad boys because we think they’re an outlier.

We ought to be more worried about whether or not they’re going to be the norm.
