    People do suggest there are liberal echo chambers, and there are conspiracy theories that liberals are brainwashed. Not sure if that’s the same. Right now the stuff I could see misinformation against liberals could do might not be that useful to anyone inclined to push misinformation. I guess democrats are just generally less in lockstep anyway so you’re picking one or another fringe but maybe not enough to accomplish much.

    The only thing currently uniting liberals that’s not probably just how the world is might be just DEI stuff, which I don’t actually think is that disruptive yet.
