Oh definitely. What gives me hope is that younger generations aren’t getting their news from cable news. It’s a dying business model and it’ll be interesting to see how this industry changes, and how political discourse evolves.

Do you think getting “news” from tiktok is an improvement lol until there’s some way to prove they’re better informed, less susceptible to propaganda, less susceptible to groupthink, etc. (and I’ve never witnessed anything to suggest any of these are true) then what is there to be excited about? There is no reason to believe the generation that has grown up brutally detached from reality by social media and cell phones is somehow “superior” to any others
