US Midterms Highlight a Nation Without Shared Reality
Original: # Midterms 🤥 They don't trust the media. They don't trust their opponents. What is a people without a shared reality? #
Ahead of the US midterm elections, commentary is focusing on deep polarization among American voters, who increasingly distrust both the media and their political opponents. The concern raised is what becomes of a democracy when citizens no longer share a common set of facts, with the midterms seen as a test of how far that erosion of shared reality has gone.
Why now: The US midterm elections are putting a spotlight on political polarization and collapsing trust in media and institutions.
