Yeah, there are a lot of convenient idiots and psyops that make no sense. I block all and highly recommend doing the same.

MODERATORS
There is a lot of people manipulating internet discussions. It doesn't take much to detail and entire thread. Idon't see it much on Lemmy but it's common on Twitter and reddit.

I talk to people who are against corruption, against racism, believe the medical industry is broken, monopolies are bad, etc. Seems we agree on a lot of basic principles yet they are still voting trump tho. WTF?

@Thespiralsong @asklemmy look up "normal distribution" for details but.
The normal distribution of any opinion will naturally show that the largest number are BETWEEN extremes. As in, in the middle. So for the majority of people and the majority of issues people will find that half of their concerns are addressed by one party and the other half by the other party.
The most extreme views are just yelled the loudest.
