I mean that marks a stark point of acceleration for sure, but the division has been going on for a lot longer. All my US relatives have been glued to fox news for at least the past decade. My mom goes to visit them (we are from Honduras)and comes back spouting absolute nonsense, when I ask her why, the tv is always on with fox news, it’s all they watch.
Before they all left Honduras in the 80s and 90s, they were left leaning, all of them. Now they aren’t only right leaning, but radicalized and sound insane when talking. This “against the right” or whatever dude sounds actually just like them, but from the left. I don’t feel comfortable sitting here feeling like the same that’s happened to them is happening to us. Well, “us” considering I’m not from the US…
Am I allowed to bring up the coup attempt.
Damn, I wonder why the division is growing.
