When times are bad people tend to swing towards the two extremes left or right. I don't know how much this is down to personal experience, personal opinion,  confirmation bias on social media or the influence of the media in general. 

It's not good but we all seem to be affected by it.

Hopefully as long as people are free, and news and opinions are not censored, it will sort itself out!
