The most popular influencers are men, who are increasingly becoming radicalized in the age of Trump.

More Americans are regularly getting their news from social media influencers, including 21% of all adults and 37% of surveyed 18 to 29-year-olds, according to a new report from the Pew Research Center. After the presidential election on Nov. 5, there’s been a huge exodus of liberals and centrists who are fed up with X owner Elon Musk and the way he’s turned the site into a safe space for far-right extremism. The rest of the list included YouTube (44%), Facebook (32%), Threads (30%), TikTok (27%), LinkedIn (12%), Rumble (11%), Telegram 7%), Truth Social 5%), Gettr (4%), Gab (4%), and BitChute (less than 1%).
