If people aren't panicked, they wouldn't elect panic-pandering politicians, so there must always be a panic — crime, drugs, commies, libruls, etc.

That's honestly pretty interesting.

I'd have just assumed it was going up too, if I hadn't seen this. I chalk it up to social media, which is programmed to make a person think their opinions are all correct while also keeping them perpetually outraged. It keeps people's dumb eyes glued to ads.

Still, thanks for the share.
