-The best tweet I've seen/liked recently was a tweet from Friday night in Chicago during protests. It said "CHICAGO FOREVER" roughly ten times and the video they tweeted with it was captioned as "This is the most Chicago thing I've ever seen." The video showed a march where someone had a laptop on a cart with speakers and was DJing. It struck me as something that would happen in a march in Chicago and it made me homesick.
-I think social media can certainly increase someone's ability to participate in democracy. The Arab Spring in 2011, which involved several democratic uprisings, was almost entirely organized via twitter. I would say it's also been utilized by groups that wish to infiltrate, disrupt, and track activist groups. In years of being an activist, much of my organizing had to take place via facebook. I think if anything, it does create more access to information about current movements, but can lead to a lack of physical involvement. There's scores of activists populating Tumblr and Twitter who have never so much as stepped foot in a community meeting or protest but feel they've done something revolutionary by arguing with a men's rights activist or neo-fascist online. I do think challenging rhetoric online is important but if we who wish to alter the course of our "democracy" never meet each other or actually work together, many efforts are wasted.
Topic 2: "Homemade" ads and/or user-generated content
-According to the LA Times, the "Japanese" Donald Trump ad by Mike Diva was satirical and featured several telling signs. There were more a couple Nazi references, implying that Trump is associated with fascism. The article gives a loose breakdown of different images within the video and offers some translations of the Japanese characters seen on screen. The one that caught my attention was a something that translated to "Fire: Trump is God"

-The ad I chose was the "Generic Presidential Campaign" ad made with stock footage from Dissolve. It's a satirical ad showing how formulaic and generic political ads tend to be. The video even pointed out that many campaign ads show candidates in small diners with white patrons to remind older white voters of "the good old days" but then immediately shows a young hispanic family to dispel thoughts that there's racial undertones. The video also shows farms, random shots of working people and machinery, and a host of other images often used in political ads. It's definitely worth watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rouDIzhgVcY
