2000 election.
Again, I'd go back even farther (talk radio / 24/7 cable news), but that was definitely a seminal moment. 

What IMHO really put the gasoline on the fire was algorithmic social media feeds and algorithmic news feeds, which actively promote what you engage with and filter out what you don't. It creates that "cocoon" from which it is hard to escape because it won't feed you new information. It's designed to merely reinforce what you already believe because you've already clicked on something similar to it. 

You have to absolutely go out of your way these days to find something outside your comfort zone, and very few people will put in the effort, much less WANT to escape their comfort zone.

I agree with you on what's happening, but disagree that COVID was all that much of a cause. This trend has been happening for MUCH longer than that.

You all know my belief on it, so I'm not going to belabor the point--we now live in a country where people curate their news/media/socials to surround themselves with a nice little cocoon of confirmation bias. They never expose themselves to "the other side", and learn everything about "the other side" from their own. It's a VERY small step from that to viewing "the other side" as not their countrymen but their enemy. Especially when their own side fans those flames by teaching them to fear and hate the other side.

COVID just amplified it a bit.
I think that’s part of it, but it seems like we also hit a point where it became more and more popular to aggressively make one’s politics part of one’s personality. And for those politics themselves are becoming more aggressive (probably because of that cocoon you mentioned)

granted, I think part of that is the sense that kind of agro politics is a precursor to your team’s success. And maybe that’s true, but man is it unpleasant.

Folks are treating politics like they treat their favorite sports teams.  It's a problem.

It's a shame.

Would be nice to start over, using the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Everybody out. But then, there could be bigger problems.

Just dumb.

More questions. Who authorized this many vaccines? It's not like you can go to Walmart and buy them OTC.

Looks like he went to different vax centers, and finally was noted.

A man deliberately got 217 Covid shots. Here’s what happened | CNN



According to his immunization history, the man got his first Covid vaccine in June 2021. He got 16 shots that year at centers across the eastern state of Saxony.

He ramped up his efforts in 2022, rolling up his sleeves for shots in both his right and left arms almost every day in January, for a total of 48 shots that month.
Then he kept going: 34 shots in February and six more shots in March. Around this time, German Red Cross staff members in the city of Dresden became suspicious and issued a warning to other vaccination centers, encouraging them to call the police if they saw the man again, CNN affiliate RTL [color=var(--theme-paragraph__link-color)]reported[/url] in April 2022.[/font][/size][/color]
In early March, he showed up at a vaccination center in the town of Eilenburg and was detained by police. He was suspected of selling the vaccination cards to third parties, according to RTL. This was during a time when many European countries required [color=var(--theme-paragraph__link-color)]proof of vaccination[/iurl] to access public venues and travel.[/font][/size][/color]
The public prosecutor in Magdeburg opened an investigation into the man for the unauthorized issuing of vaccination cards and forgery of documents but did not end up filing criminal charges, according to the study.

Although they didn't charge him, it seems plausible he was selling vax cards.  He'd get one each time, and I suppose they don't keep accurate records center to center to know he showed up multiple times.  Finding evidence he was doing that would be a challenge.

I had not read about the "long Vax" theory before, thanks.  It seems possible.  

It is rather stunning to me as a separate issue how differing points of view were clearly suppressed by social media.  I can understand the why of that, in theory and at times, but it's a concern.  

Who determines what is garbage information and misleading and what is not?  That's a key question with no clear answer.

My doc is not promoting any further COVID vaccinations for people who don't have high risk factors.
