You know that thing when your life becomes the opening reel of a disaster movie? Amazon algorithm is recommending me shotgun cartridges and mustache wax. Y'all better watch out.

Minor provocation. Do the replies to this post support the assertion that this site is an echo chamber? I don't mean the general consensus but the smug judgementalism.
Morning!

Can someone explain why anyone listens to Reform?

They lied about Brexit (spoiler: it’s a disaster).
Now they’re lying about climate change (apparently, it doesn’t exist).

And yet… millions still vote for them 🗳️.
What’s in the water? #MorningMadness

Indeed. Being repeatedly exposed to the *worst versions* of the other sides' view excaberates polarisation.
FWIW, I think that it may well be exposure to other views which has increased polarisation. In the olden days, a Guardian reader wouldn't have had a clue what was in the Mail. And vice versa. Social media has increased exposure to different views. And very often, people react in outrage to them.
