About this episode

Paul and Eric explore the complexities of political polarization and the influence of social media on public opinion.

Everyone says America is more divided than ever—but is that actually true, or are we all trapped inside algorithms designed to keep us angry?This week, Paul and Eric dive into political polarization, media bias, cancel culture, January 6th, term limits, celebrity activism, comedy, and why social media may be the biggest force shaping public opinion today. Along the way they ask whether we're forming our own opinions anymore—or simply inheriting them from the internet.Whether you lean left, right, or somewhere in between, this episode is less about changing minds and more about challenging assumptions.Question for the comments:What's one opinion you've changed your mind about—and what convinced you to change?#Cancelled#Politics#CancelCulture#SocialMedia#TheSoapBoxLex
