    It seems that’s the trend lately. Vote for the worst possible, notably Trump but also the EU countries are sinking into this.

      Yeah, why are people so ready to believe obvious lies without doing even a basic amount of research into the topic? Curious, isn’t it.

      Someone said to me a long time ago that if someone tells you something that you agree with, you should do your best to disprove this, to yourself. I think that’s a good start, and possibly a way to break out of your own filter bubble.

        Right. And apparently whoever has some spare time can influence elections and such. It’s almost like democracy isn’t the most robust system out there :)
