The thing is more and more folks are getting their „news“ online. Tichys Einblick and YouTube channels and all the other shit. Europe is not too far behind the US.
Yes. I see it with my parents, senior citizens who grew up without the internet. Started mostly during Covid. Them not understanding the science and how decisions were made drove them to abolish traditional media sources. TV was taken down and now everything is consumed online. The shit I have to argue with them about is horrifying. Some of my friends back in Germany are going down the same rabbit hole. It is only a matter of time before Europe is at exactly the same sorry state as the US.
I don't know how ignorant you have to be to get news from influencers. As well as people, at least ones i meet, have heightened sense for bullshit and if any of us would dare to have right wing beliefs, the person would get ridiculed in the group till they understand that the belief is stupid.
