I’ve watched someone I know who only gets their news through Facebook descend into qdom over the last 5 years. Whenever I hear about a new thing conservatives are doing or saying, I can be sure that person will be doing or saying it within a week… which then feeds right back into Facebook for others.

Thanks for the confirmation. I bet they don't even notice it happening. Though this could happen to anyone on any side of the spectrum. It's sad that this is what the internet has become.
