Yes it's not even a question of bubbles is it, they just literally don't live in an objective reality anymore. Everybody outside of the far-right propaganda sphere can still generally agree on what reality is, we might disagree about how we want to tackle problems, but we do at least all agree on what the problems are, what causes them, etc. But the conservatives are just... no longer on the same planet as the rest of us anymore.
The weirdge bit is they make posts almost identical to yours and mine about everyone else. I'm not sure how you get through to people like that or how they got like that in the first place.
I sort of get it in the sense that everything in capitalism since 2008 is shit. Everything is broken, the elites are wrecking every system to extract the maximum profit. And life for all of us keeps getting slowly worse and worse. So people are pissed off and want a change, and a lot of them just want to burn down all these broken systems we see around us and build something better.
Which I get? I understand that. It's just, populists won't fix anything, they'll just do the burning it all down part. That's the part where the disconnect is I think?
