    Really? Have you been on the internet?

    Politics only mimics what the people are already interested in. And social media made the people interested in hating eachother. Until that changes politics won’t change.

      The internet is a loud echo chamber and doesn’t reflect what the majority thinks much of the time.

      Nah, this broader social justice movement has followed basically the same pattern as every other civil rights epoch seen in liberal democracies before it. Immediate moral panic is ultimately followed by rational conversations and democratic results. And then most people come out on the other side a bit more inoculated against bigoted or unjust ways of thinking.

        I think that is changing. We’re more and more switching away from social media and as it dies politics should return to normal though that isn’t to say normal is much better.
