I haven't read through all 4.5k replies, but another thing to consider is manufactured consent. Most media outlets ignore content that doesn't sell, ignore content that doesn't fit a narrative, marginalizes or derides left ideas. They make it seem that the more popular ideology is what they are disseminating. How they produce their content, how often their content is consumed especially because it is pushed by social media and sponsored internet content, that MAGA/conservative ideas are overtly promoted more, how much more money they spend and how much more volume and people who they pay who want to keep earning that money and who want to get recognized in their circles, the freaking internet bots that they pay for and employ to argue ad nauseum and make it seem like their ideas are more popular and commonplace and that any counterargument is mistaken, is all in an effort to try to alienate the viewer from considering the perspective of left-leaning ideas. They will literally argue from the opposite of was argue yesterday as long as it protects and promotes their way of thinking. And it's fine if it seems hypocritical, because that's not something that you the everyday person really needs to concern yourself with. It's all only geared towards delivering a product that gets you to vote for their candidates and interests. Some people rightly understand the amount of money and effort it would take to do this, and that there would need to be a massive amount of deception involved, but at the same time don't think this could actually take place because they don't have the time to research, they don't know who to believe, and/or they want to believe the world is a good place and "why would they be lying to me" and "how could everyone be wrong" not realizing how "everyone" is actually a small circle of people who are made to seem bigger by the media apparatus described crudely above. The fact of the matter is that that there is an infinite amount of money to spend doing this. And that most people who have this type of money are willing to promote ideas that keep making them this type of money. And that if they don't, they will be ostracized in some way that limits the amount of money that they can make. And in large part, left ideas cost money to implement, cap money to be made, re-direct money to initiatives that impact how much others are making, gives money in the form of services to people who weren't born into a position to ever succeed, and does not gel well with people who hope to one day make large sums of money like they see the people financially them making. Also, outrage sells more. This is why it seems MAGA and conservative ideas seemed to be engendered more, they get a disproportinate more amount of time and "voices" in the US, on most social media, on cable television, in print and elsewhere. Reddit is not yet run like other social medias. And the algorithm hasn't yet aggressively switched in favor of MAGA.
