Some liberals don't even think there's a problem. They think movements like MAGA and Brexit are just low information voters being riled up by algorithms and populists.

to some degree its true. they just fail to grasp what lies beneath it, for one reason or another.

why are those people choosing to be low information? how can algorithms be so effective and whos paying for it? why and how are populists so effective in rounding up a nation's worth of fascists..?
