This is interesting. Why the proportional increase in PAC spending in early 2010s? Citizens United?

do you know of any randomize controlled trials on effects of phones/social media on learning outcomes? from clicking through links can't tell if ambiguity on sm effects is because there is not good evidence, or there is good evidence that shows null effects.

Is the argument that if Haidt didn't publish book/have a platform that then there wouldn't be a push to limit phones and social media?

where did the independents go? even after asking lean there are more than ~5% Ind I would think? And it looks like higher educated african-americans are leaving Dems more than lower?

My thought is while older generations, or even myself, were socialized that democracy was a core value, people who came of age in the Trump era see it as a contested ideal or something that isn't the default. That said, support is still high, and these things are still common, but it's fraying.
