Employing a mixed-methods approach that integrates sentiment and framing analysis, a total of 285 user comments were analyzed through quantitative and qualitative techniques. Sentiment analysis revealed a predominance of negative comments at 89.1 percent, followed by neutral comments at 10.9 percent, with no positive sentiment identified. This distribution reflects an extreme polarization of opinion and a symbolic legitimacy crisis.
