Yes in aggregate, that’s my point. You’re arguing against the increasing saturation of social media, that simply doesn’t exist. You’re arguing against historical trends in radicalization despite mountains of evidence to the contrary.
I have observed it, and of course conservatives aren’t going to admit to shielding themselves with it openly, that defeats the purpose. If someone holds largely conservative views, but pretends to be moderate to avoid backlash, they are conservative.

Yes, but you’re wrong. In aggregate political sophistication isn’t increasing. That’s my point.
There are no “mountains of evidence to the contrary.”
“Everybody who disagrees with me is lying” is a view that’s not particularly sophisticated.
Right, but who is even one person who is doing this?
