Being Pre-Trump and Ominous.

I was just reading an old post of mine from three years ago. Part of it concerned a news item about a Twitter post deriding Islam made by some celebrity. One section of my post read:

If you feel, maybe not unreasonably, that you need to criticise a belief system as big as Islam, is Twitter the right place to do it? I think not. The subject is far too emotive and needs a much broader platform to allow for a balanced and reasonably argued view. Unfortunately, tweeting is what celebrities do these days; I suspect that most of them are afraid of getting lost on broader platforms.

Does that remind you of a dark cloud still lurking below the horizon?
