Not on here, I'd say. People don't really have the discipline to look at serious topics critically, and that includes politics.
The internet facilities circle-jerking and the instant gratification of getting likes and support from people that already hold your beliefs. Skeptics and centrists get drowned out by the tribalist echo-chamber that people rely on to reinforce their views.
Nobody cares about what's actually right, just about feeling right

@InvaderNice People always have to double-down when their personal beliefs are questioned. Rather than taking a step back to look at something with an open mind, they take two steps forward with anger and vitriol to avoid dealing with the possibility that they could be wrong

@KayraJordyn Lol. It's just my personality more than anything else. I overthink basically everything and can't commit to any ideology. I'm always playing devil's advocate and poking holes in people's ideas. Even my own. Not to be an asshole, but just to explore other options. I never really settle on anything unless the evidence for it holds up to all scrutiny
I kinda need thoughtful people around because there's no telling which direction I'll go in
