People with extreme views are also more vocal, so that's what you see. That's why social media is bad for you. If gives you a very distorted view of the world. Most people are able to look at politics with nuance.

This, plus everyone is concerned with engagement. If I say a perfectly normal statement on Facebook or X or whatever, no one will care so no one will comment or interact with it. If I say that Jesus wants us to make America white again, even the people who disagree with me will only be boosting my message by commenting.

Jesus wants us to make America white again

I love this. It's so dumb in so many different ways, but I can easily see people unironically saying it.

Of course the Bible was written in English. How else would Jesus, the greatest American ever, write it?
