"Build it yourself" internet bubbles are giving people hilariously wrong impressions of society, and humanity.
These same bubbles led to many millions of people shocked and flabbergasted when Donald Trump won in 2016. There will probably be just as many flabbergasted people when Democrats get thrown out of the House in three weeks. Internet "safe spaces" and censorship of differing opinions give people that impression that society is changing, or has changed. It hasn't.

The fact that people are downvoting this obvious proclamation is further proof of my original claim. People are in bubbles, unaware of reality. No one should be shocked that Democrats are about to lose the Congress, and yet here we are. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-election-forecast/house/?cid=rrpromo https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-election-forecast/... https://electionbettingodds.com/House2022.html https://electionbettingodds.com/House2022.html https://polymarket.com/market/which-party-will-win-the-us-house-in-the-2022-elections https://polymarket.com/market/which-party-will-win-the-us-ho...
