Internet sensation

“Well, it’s not like I’d have tried to take the country over in a fifteen minute press conference,” I said. I paused. “I probably could have gone viral on the Internet, though.”

Hmm.

I could probably do a lot of good if I had a voice on the Internet. It’d be harder to manipulate groups than individuals, because I wouldn’t have body language or tells, but I could probably start crafting messages that would resonate with a good portion of the population. If I chose different messages, I could hit different segments, and in the end I could likely start bringing maybe eighty percent of the country around, even if I had to make sure I wasn’t saying mutually exclusive things.
