This is an excellent thread about the fractured media reality that we inhabit, and the fact that most Republican voters are now unreachable due to living in a different epistemic universe from us. Unlike Putnam I no longer have hope that we can fix this, but her analysis is greathttps://twitter.com/lara_putnam/status/1388827384477110275 …

A lot of the projects to fix this (and I'm not referring to Putnam here) are some version of "we just need to educate people!", that evergreen favorite of the educated classes, which only makes the divide deeper and more impossible to bridge

Replying to @Pinboard
It always amazed me to watch the finger-wagging "Fact checkers" who logged everything Trump said for four years. If you love Trump, you're not going to believe the fact checkers and the fact they're doing what they're doing seems very weird and alienating.
