I read this about how social media is distorting our view of the world/politics: https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/civil-...ots-and-losers

I think it makes a good point that although most of the country isn't on social media, people in politics and political commentary are disproportionately on there, so it has an outsized influence on our politics. I think that's true of this country as well.

A lot of what drives the media narratives and politicians' view of the public is what they've read on social media, curated by their bubble and algorithmically generated to be more extreme.
