In my opinion, this is the biggest issue. I'm more concerned that our democracy isn't functioning properly. Trust in the media is at an all-time low, conspiracy theories are flying left and right about everything, and now that some of them have been proven... the existing systems we have in place to change things... are not changing things. I don't get where we go from here.
