> In 2023 US democracy is falling apart, we are on the brink of civil war, Both of these statements are bullshit. People voted based on terrible information 50 years ago as well (a couple of TV appearances for the “informed voter”). The political discourse is shitty again, but we aren’t anywhere near a civil war. The discourse and violence back around the Vietnam war was far worse than anything today.
