Never more clearly visible than on social networks like Twitter. Hoards congregating and woe betide anyone who actually tries to discuss. Not even disgree, just discuss. The howling mobs descend wielding torches and pitchforks and one is derided as an ignorant "hater".
What I find most disturbing is that the younger European generations are following the US examples. It does not bode well for anyone's future.

I agree with a lot of what has been said. The electorate in the US is made up of low information voters who worship celebrity. I teach at a career college and I ask my students every term haw many US Supreme Court justices can they name. Most cannot name any, a few can name one or two. I then ask how many Kardashians can they name. They know them all. They think Donald Trump must be important and have good ideas because he is on TV. Also, Americans don't read newspapers or watch broadcast news. If they watch news at all they watch the cable news programs that reinforce what they already believe. Liberals watch MSNBC or CNN, conservatives watch FOX and neither side talks to the other. We live in a bubble of our own making and it about to burst. I'm not sure how we will deal with reality as opposed to "reality television."
