Short-attention span messaging and emotional-loading form opinions now. Incessant repetition of patently inaccurate themes become the lexicon of support for the thinly veiled Marxism they are being sold. Racism, climate-change and variants of gender/sexual orientation create a petri-dish of angry, shallow, disconnected tribes to be manipulated.

I used to think nothing could defeat the last, best hope of mankind, the American miracle, but...
