And it is not just in the US but around the world. People increasingly see themselves as part of opposing teams. There are many different reasons for this, but one gets blamed a lot: social media. Social media divides us, makes us more extreme and less empathetic, riles us up, or sucks us into doom scrolling, making us stressed and depressed.
