Words of wisdom

Among these changes, the most underrated is not misinformation or kooky conspiracy theories or even populism per se — it’s relentless negativity. One thing that we’ve learned from revealed preferences on the internet is that negativity-inflected stories perform better…

The impact of ultra-negativity is symmetrical in the sense that both sides do it, but it’s asymmetrical in the sense that conservatives outnumber progressives. In practice, oscillating extremism results in a right-wing authoritarian regime, not a left-wing one.

That is from the gated Matt Yglesias.  The important thing is to keep a positive, constructive attitude toward what is possible.  Content creators who do not do that, no matter what their professed views, are supporting the darker sides of MAGA.

So keep up the good work people!
