There’s some theory on this and it goes beyond conservatives.

Once, the internet was small enough that whatever happened on it could be seen by most users. Now, things can go viral in one ‘part’ of the internet and people in other ‘parts’ would have no idea what was going on.

The solution to this is to recognize that the internet should be treated as more of a local place, where we interact with the communities and people we want while ignoring the ones we don’t.

We can’t expect “the internet” to share any overarching views because there are too many people from too many places online now.
