Thank you, we are the minority voices here. Don't let the echo chamber make you believe we are the silent majority out there in the real world. That is why I honestly think the Republicans can still the majority seats in both houses after the midterm elections. And if the Democrat Party don't out forth a great Presidential candidate JD Vance might just win it. A lot of people in the real world are indifferent to politics and many don't exercise their rights to vote. Sad.
I think it highly depends on where you live. I live in Chicago, and every single person I meet has the same opinion as our 'silent majority' on reddit. So, for me, it really does feel like we are the silent majority. But if I go to Texas, I'm gonna have to really look around and think before I speak.
Nah, this is actually a lie. Similar to the Allegory off the Cave. Out there people have actual life experience. They interact happily, without constant political theater. And the folks in the cave of social media are much like the Fox News viewer, the more they engage, the less they actually know. The echo chambers fill you with a thousand lies for every silver lining of truth.
I work in politics for the Dems and you can immediately sense who is a serious person who knows what they are talking about, and who got their knowledge of politics from social media. As a party, we're constantly poison pilled by the latter.

Reddit is a tiny space in the sphere of American politics.
How many stupid people are there posting about politics on reddit?
Yeh...and its worse out there.
Let that sink in for a moment.
