It really is, you take a bunch of damaged people, cut them off from real life support systems, then feed them a non-stop stream of confirmation bias designed to keep them in the system, to keep them coming back to the echo chamber for more confirmation bias. By keeping people in these clashing versions of reality, instead of coming together to find resolution, or compromise, which is the hard option here, the path of least resistance is to fall back into those bubbles, to double down.

It’s a real mental health crisis that I’ve been calling political psychosis, because when you look at it from a mental health perspective, these folks have absolutely become so wrapped up in conspiracies and narratives on social media, they’re completely unable to respond to the reality unfolding around them.

As much as I want to scream, I know first hand that under the right conditions, anyone can potentially fall into psychosis.
