MODERATORS
They're literally not getting the same information. Algorithms on socials ensure you end up in a bubble. Dissenting opinions disappear. Confirmation bias takes root. Everyone lives in a different reality with objectively different perspectives and information delivered to them. Sincerely, think you'd hold onto an ounce of sanity enduring the social media feed of someone on the opposite end of the political spectrum? People are well and truly divided at a granular individualistic level, except where overarching ideology aligns well enough, then the right falls together while the left commits to infighting over the minor disagreements. Y'all catch the last election??
Poor Trump supporters are victims that need to be rescued and brought to the class war.
They are no different than immigrants: a manufactured enemy to distract people from the true enemy to humanity, the insanely rich.
It's hard to break out of that mentality that they're all inherently morons and not victim to literally billions — maybe even trillions — of dollars of social manipulation.
