Why are there so many people on youtube cheering on Trump's national garde and denouncing the protesters, but so few showing up on his military parade? (lemmy.ml)

Are they living too far away? Too poor to go there? Bots? Laziness? Are they not interested in military parades despite liking to denounce protesters?

What's the big reason?

Aside from the systemic reasons why the internet leans heavily right: when you deport people's neighbors then politics is no longer a sports game and even the nonvoters understand this.

    I'd love to know your thoughts why the Internet is systemically right leaning? I don't spend too much time on the political side of YouTube, but similar to op I've been perpetually confused as to why Instagram runs so hard to the right.

    The idea that the Internet being systemically right leaning is super interesting and may explain a lot.

    I mean churches should be anticapitalist and before the turn of the last century they often were. But then property got expensive and churches would need loans... Now we have prosperity gospel and mega churches. The internet ran the same course but in just a couple decades.
