    The scariest thing about this election is that it may not be an anomaly. There may be worse polarization ahead.

        @AriMNazir @mattyglesias I'm not surprised it's the same shape as the graph of economic inequality. (http://paulgraham.com/re.html )

        @floydophone @paulg That dark, but an intriguing idea. Could the filter be a social construct + technology not just tech or environmental.

        @paulg It's weird too because fear, urge to control, attacks on free speech, virulence & mob mentality are increasing on right AND left.

        @paulg 1/18 Current problem is not polarization. It is rejection of the establishment (both parties), and establishment reasserting control.

        @paulg 2/18 A majority of U.S. voters (both parties) say that the U.S. needs at least a third major party.

        @paulg 3/18 But this is not possible given GOP & DNC collusion on ballot access obstruction (regulatory capture of voting process).

        @paulg 5/18 Clinton is the establishment among Democrats, the establishment has not fallen, but an outsider is providing a real challenge.

        @paulg 7/18 The GOP establishment has completely collapsed and the runaway front runner is an outsider that the establishment cannot stop.

        @paulg 8/18 All a direct result of ballot access obstruction of third party candidates, so outsiders have to fight for a major ticket.
