I'd also argue that there has to be an environmental factor to this

Among many things I'd place some of the blame on curated social media run by leftist soys in Silicon Valley. The obsession with censorship has been rampant ever since they lost the Narrative in 2016, so if that's how you learn what happens outside your monkeysphere that's your permanent view of the world. A world where Trump is Hitler and AOC is doing her best to save us from Capitolism and racism.

Even that aside, social media and whatnot has degraded the attention span of anyone who never had the chance to grow up without a phone screen in their face
