> open power abuse by those new allies

I would argue that the capitol raid fanatics are anarchists as well, under the cover of being republican voters. They don't mind the open power abuse by the Kremlin as well.

The core issue I have with the power play on the internet is that it leads to isolationist behaviors on both sides, which in return stalls democratic approaches to finding a compromise in between both opinions.

I am not sure if it is the fault of the internet and if this was better before, but the expectation was definitely that it helps bring people more together, not apart. All the various information, one click away. It takes really effort, to ignore all that and entrench in your bubble.
