    I’d argue that the population isn’t politically disengaged - Millennials and especially Gen Z are showing high rates of political participation relative to historic trends.

    People have simply shifted to different sources. And this isn’t just true for those on TikTok either - look at how many grandparents get their news from questionable Facebook groups.

    The issue is that the internet - while making everything more accessible - has also proliferated sources that are confident, but incorrect (whether out of malice or not).
