See, its easier to accuse people of bigotry than look at their actual problems. Trump didn't win because the modern left sucked hard at actually helping the poor, they did because they were gaslighted by bigots.
Haha, I realized the irony of my comment writing it. I definitely would word it differently if I was trying to convince someone.

That's true. But I strongly believe that bigotry is the problem.
Blaming the left for the rise of populism and conspiracies is like blaming the firefighters for the fire. I'm putting the blame on the arsonists.
We should be debating how to fix issues instead of "Is the issue real?". All the politics who participated in spreading misinformation and dividing the western world should be voted out of their positions.
It's a systemic failure that brought us here. Our system allowed selfish leaders (from all sides tbh) to get in power.
But fixing the systemic issues touches on personal liberties (who decides what can and cannot be said?), so it cannot be done lightly. Additionally, politics wants to be re-elected, so not only they won't do anything against misinformation, they sometimes encourage it.
I blame the leaders more than the followers, but the followers have a personal responsibility in it as well.
