And the effect of media bubbles. Including self-selected ones, not just algorithm driven bubbles.
The plurality of voters this last election voted for greed and selfishness as celebrated norms. Over a third of voters said they didn't care. Of the remainder, a significant percentage of them are obsessed with civility and the proper way of doing things.
Laughing about capitalist cunts getting their just desserts is funny, but not as popular in touch-grassville as it is on Lemmy, and public figures have to deal with that fact

Worst part is, touch-grassvile itself is still fucking absurd. They're out there touching the grass and blaming their heavy breathing on grass allergies, while us shut-ins are noting the coal plant two miles upwind of the town that's caused a drastic uptick in asthma attacks.
But the vast majority of people are normals who are out there fucking with the grass and asspatting each other for being so in-touch with their surroundings, and we have to deal with that.
Yes, the pundits are saying DISCLAIMER: Shooting is bad. Murder is bad before they talk about how the healthcare service executive really had it coming.
