You're not the only one feeling that. This is what happens when people hate a political party so much they stop thinking critically and just latch onto whatever the other side is pushing. Social media, targeted ads, and media manipulation fuel it from every direction. And both the far left and far right are guilty of it, and the damage is brutal.
Then you throw in the influencer effect... they start off making sense, dropping truths that feel well reasoned, earning people’s trust. But over time, they twist that trust to fit their own narratives, or whoever’s paying them. Watching it unfold is like seeing a cult form in real time. It’s insane how effective it is. (Think Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, Patrick Bet-David (Valuetainment) just to name a few).
“It’s easy to fool a man, but it’s nearly impossible to convince him he’s been fooled.” - Mark Twain
