Your comment about virtue signalling, pogs, and ffinn's about selfie coverage sum it up pretty well, I find! The other thing that's striking is how mad Twitter and Facebook can be if you are not careful—death threats for not turning up for dinner with grandpa!? completely OTT.

Perhaps they were at a trump rally. Sorry but I find it syrupy

I note you have not made a comment yourself bags so I don't know if/when/where any upset could take place but my opinion is the are all fricking nuts.

Virtue Signalling confused

We know it happens. sad
But I find the whole sentimental self-aggrandisement cloying, very FB/Twitter, very "me, me".

The granddaughter got some great 'selfie' coverage.

...when five of the six grandchildren he invited for dinner didn't turn up.
