Oh please, watch faux news.In this forum I think a number of the responses to criticism of "their side" and echo-chamber are related to the media and their reaction.
When the dems do something wrong the media defends or ignores the issue 90+% of the time.
When the GOP does something wrong, the numbers are the complete opposite.
People react to that response or lack thereof.
My only assertion was that the proportion of “hard right wingers” to “everyone else” was always overstated.Part 3 of my theory is that the “left” or “other than right” cohort here is a bit more willing to criticize their political proxies (e.g. vaccine mandates and Afghanistan withdrawal). So, somewhat this.
(Part 2 being that the presence of dissenters creates social incentives and disincentives that actually make this echo chamber effect worse.)
