@thisgenericnamehere Can’t argue with the stats in the aggregate. In the US the cultural and political decline is significant.

@Human1000 But is it though? Politics maybe, but I think whats happened is that institutions have lost their masks.
Politics seemed to be respectable before but was it?
And American political and social discourse may have seemed more harmonious because it only included specific voices and now thats not the case.
