But you cannot ignore that there is a huge part of the demographic; which, live in an information bubble and are low on the critical thinking skills to evaluate this bubble. They tend to be easily led to vote any which way those that control the bubble want.
This is a serious problem that required serious thought on how to solve it; and critically, the solutions are not coming from within the bubble, as those within the bubble have been led to believe the problem is those outside the bubble.
Thus in some way we have to impose the fix from the outside. My usual call is for education and regulation of the flows of information to be factual. Any more force than this generates a significant counter narrative; strengthening the feeling of “us vs them” and working against the very thing we are trying to achieve.
Beyond vague notions of improving education; and legislating factual news reporting, with harsh punishments for lying/significant bias. I don’t have a fleshed out plan; just the skeleton of an idea.
I agree with you.
