Many years ago I wrote a piece about the current state of political affairs. In there, I argued that it is very hard to build a political majority due to the atomicity of the median voter. The Cambrian explosion of information sources brought upon by the advent of the internet has caused most voters to build a hyper-specific set of political preferences that do not fully conform with any political current. Combine this trend with the rage culture of social media and you have a voter that not only does not identify with any particular party, but who is also unwilling to let pass the discrepancies they might have with their closest allies in the name of the greater good.
