If it was all true information, it'd be one thing. Unfortunately, 90% of it is BS, conentless slop or deliberate misinformation.

I have been saying this for a decade now. Also, the US Bill of Rights is outdated as f*ck. But I don't see a way for you guys to be able to write a new Constitution, short of having a revolution or a coup d'etat. There's no way you will ever get 60 votes in the Senate so soon.

Full disclosure, I'm a Canadian dude. But we have very similar problems up here.
Russia dumping a metric-butt load of mis/disinformation into our media ecosystem hasn't helped.

Ah ok, I just assumed because most population on the Internet are Americans. I'm Portuguese myself, and we are having the same problems. Anti-Vaxx sentiment for example, was never a thing here, and now I have family member who have turned into Anti-Vaxx and into other conspiracy BS.

It's apparently a worldwide problem at the moment. It seems humanity is at an inflection point.

*nods*
And it's more infuriating that we are getting consequences from US Politics, and are unable to do anything about it... It is quite frustrating.
