Too Young to Have Voted for Obama: The Tweets of David Hogg

By X X

David Hogg burst onto the scene after the horrible Parkland shooting. He has made gun violence his platform and the NRA his target. Although I disagree with his conclusions and who he blames for the gun violence problem in America, I commend his push to get more people to vote. I also enjoy his non-sequitur ideas and rhetorical fallacies that have run through Twitter. And despite his confusion about the proper usage of commas and his regular mix up of 'that' and 'who, ' there is some poetry that runs through this Twitter account. He epitomizes Gen Z and his progressive ideas often end up within the web of irony, contradictions, and paradoxes; so, more often than not, I kept thinking of Aleister Crowley's The Book of Lies which is a compilation of paradoxical aphorisms. But, I want to leave the reader to continue with comparisons, interpretations, and criticisms of Hogg's 'poetry.' No word or spelling was changed, and no punctuation was added or taken away. Only line breaks and slight formatting changes, like capitalizations, were added.
