The main problem today is that the news media and social media are increasing the division for internet-points. More division means more clicks.
The division breaks communities and families.

The US political system is already setup to divide people between two opposition parties, that both try to win "votes" with emotional tensions. That problem was recognized right at the start.
Today, the democrats wants people beaten up that do not agree with the weird and body-harming regulations. The conservatives do not want to restrict companies, including market destructing monopolies, because "profit is good". The only common thing is that both sides feed the corruption and the military complex most of the money. And they give the money back to the media to promote more division.
The independents and different conspiracy people already discovered this at the beginning. They just point out different reasons and bad-guys. From the bankers, to the jews, to the satanist, to the war-mongers, to child-rapists, to whatever group a certain collection of psychopaths belong .And probably such psychopaths belong to many.

The qanon stuff (hoax) become popular by over-generalizing this all. The russia-gate (hoax) became popular due to the propaganda in the media. Yes there are psychopaths and there is a lot of corruption. But we have to pick apart each item, and not generalize them. As the pile of hey with rats, will become a pile of bullshit with (f)lies.

There are also sinister agendas that push hate against white people (reddit does). Or push wars. Or hide severe problems with medical solutions. From history we already know that these are evil agendas. We know the Nuremberg code, we know that pushing hate or war is bad. Yet this is now visible in most of the news media and social media.
This is a thing that we can commonly agree on, independent of any political ideology.
