I would like to especially thank @Teri_Kanefield for her excellent series of essays on "The misinformation-outrage cycle".
She very eloquently explains many of the problems with modern politics and media.

Perhaps we can all work to make it better if we unplug more, avoid knee-jerk reactions, and build positive things in our communities.
I also think one of the keys is proportional representation in our voting systems, and removing "first past the post" style government.
I wish everyone success with both.
