Robert Putbam wrote a book about this about two decades ago. One of his students made a film about it in 2023. When civic instructions die, democracy won't be far behind
This is the result of decades of civic poisoning by Fox News and right-wing echo chambers and channels.

Your gummy thought of the evening: So much of life is just showing up, and the internet allows too many people to not show up anymore. The rest of the world is just some shit that’s happening on television

A thing I didn't grok when I was younger: You can just... do stuff. Anyone can write a book-- just open a document or buy a composition book and go. If you want to try an art form, you can take a class, watch a YouTube video, or borrow the tools from the library. You don't need permission to play.

I keep hearing comments that elected Dems don’t know what to do because they are in the minority. How many smallish-audience podcasts did you do this week with Dems working hard to build up their audiences? If you want an alternative media universe, you have to help create it.
