What Rhetoric stirred up things on Facebook?
Sometimes silence speaks louder than words. I did not have one Facebook post about the #sotu on my feed. I looked at the dates on the #sotu feed and my friends had posted quite a bit in previous years. So why the indifference now? Well, I can take a few guesses but can not speak for them in absolutes. However, it reminds me of something my Dad used to say. "Quit telling me what you're going to do and just get to work!" President Obama has been telling us for some time, what he's going to do and how great it will be. This is his last SOTU so most surmised it would be a "tooting his own horn," session. Really, I personally, don't want to hear his version of how supposedly wonderful his last 7 years in office have been. And honestly there isn't much he can do from now until the elections. So why comment? Why blow up the Facebook feed with something I can't do anything about?
Where you affected by the rhetoric and/or your social media feed?
No, I wasn't. I guess what affected me the most about the whole SOTU address was as he kept speaking about our world today, I kept wondering, "Do we share the same planet?" Not once instance of what he spoke could be shared with my personal experience and reality.
