The modern technological landscape, characterized by media fragmentation and the rise of echo chambers, has further compounded the problem of a shared political truth. Citizens now curate personalized streams of information, filtering out dissenting voices and reinforcing pre-existing biases. This ideological self-segregation means that two people can be operating on two entirely different sets of "facts" and narratives, each believing their perspective is the unvarnished truth because it has been validated repeatedly within their community. This structural phenomenon eliminates the common ground necessary for factual debate, accelerating the divergence into disparate and irreconcilable political realities.
