This isn’t about IRL. This is about the disinformation that bad actors spread in online communities.

You also have a selection bias. You have friends with similar political views because you distance yourself from people you disagree with, either physically or just through avoiding “sensitive” topics. I’ve personally disconnected from some friends because they didn’t when I brought up Biden’s historic support of Israel. I still voted for him and Harris over Trump, but that wasn’t good enough for them.
