If politics was sane, it would be much easier

I would argue that the internet is a substantial part of the reason for the level of insanity in modern politics. We might have ended up here anyway, but the ability to curate your social environment until you're surrounded by people who agree with you or provide you with nothing but positive reinforcement has definitely accelerated and exacerbated the problem.

It's made it easier for the dictators to push through their dictatorship too. People wouldn't have stayed home as long. You wouldn't have digital vaccine passports, digital ID, and face recognition.

Ironically the internet was known as the bringing information to the masses and a brighter tomorrow. It has been used for the opposite.

I would argue that it's always been pretty insane- maybe not to this degree, but it's much easier to find out about goings on outside of your immediate influence. The elites no longer have total control over information from the outside and shareable content is amplified over true or important, but boring events.
