2020 was one thing but the last 4 years has been a freakin' roller coaster of crazy political emotions of many sorts, i guess it's been brewing under the surface for years and trump brought it out, everyone is crazy including trump imho. the geenie is out of the bottle, if anyone including biden thinks it's going back in they're highly mistaken. biden is going to have his own set of problems, i wouldn't be surprised if hunter dies of suicide or a drug overdose at this point. if our country was a person it would take years of therapy to recover.

there's only three things to watch, the weather channel, the travel channel or HGTV..oh and QVC so it's 4

The Republic will survive but we are as broken as we have been in my lifetime.  I used to enjoy politics very much but today's tribalism is insane.  It often has no constructive purpose whatsoever, and the sheep parrot their sides message because it must be correct.  Congress is too insulated from the reality of normal people.  That becomes more apparent every day.

pretty much, you want to know what the right is thinking turn on fox or a few other farther right programs, not many to choose from don't even know their names but they're crazy

then if you want to know what the left are thinking turn on any mainstream media--it's become a joke and they're crazy too

then of course some of the big tech like fb and twitter they have their own thing going on--this is a big issue imho--they're crossing the line big time....zuckerberg and dorsey are threats imho

My opinion is evolving on this one.  I do desire the 1st Amendment be respected.  That said, I don't think it's a bad idea for the huge media platforms to slow down the conspiracy theories as some are truly harmful.  But these guys can't be the arbiter of election debate as they are nothing like neutral.
