    But this is a chicken or the egg problem, don’t you see?

    They didn’t become radicalised, they started voting, so at least to some extent, perhaps one they themselves were unaware of, they already agreed with everything Trump says, with things the GOP stands for, nobody made the choice for them to do this, they gravitated towards this stuff because they always had shitty views, but they weren’t politically active.

    The answer isn’t to pretend politics doesn’t exist or blame the printing press for printing or people for discussing politics, the answer is… well idk the answer. Maybe a civil war, casus beli being extermination for wrongthink? it’s at least more likely to happen than a global revolution leading to corporations losing control of algorithms and social media, idk what else at this point, humanity is fucked, most people are bloodthirsty as hell, active or not.
