    No. Started before pandemic.

    Been brewing for 100yrs or better.

    Largest recent notable change was when Chump gave permission/encouragement to “people” to be public assholes starting the Cult of Chump.

    And it’s gone downhill from there.

        imagine if people as evil as this fuck had come around 100 years ago

        Oh, they’ve been here all along.

        But you’re certainly right on the “instantly share” point. That has absolutely exacerbated the situation.

        stop being angry until we get what we want!

        Given the history of human nature and especially recent human behavior, I’ve no hope that will/can happen.
