Just as the title asks I’ve noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they’re reading.

They’ll read it and despite all the information being there, if it’s even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it’s complete gibberish or indecipherable.

Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it’s making me lose my fucking mind.

    They’ve become hyper obsessed with politics

    I lost a lot of people to this too. They saw me as the enemy because I’m hardcore apolitical at this point as I want nothing to do with what the obsessors are obsessing about.

    I notice your name says Oregon - are you in Oregon too? I’m in Portland and political discussions here are a headache that lead to shunning. People treat politics like its their religion.

      Im in south Salem.

      I lean more right for most things. Socially more to the left.

      I’m south Salem, I might as well be a communist. It’s super red.

      I’m a republican but I’m not maga. So I don’t fit in with the right wing politics in Salem. They appear to be very far right.

      I’m very moderate on everything. If you could sum it up; let people do what they want as long as it’s consensual and I’m not paying for it.

      Basically I want to live my life and be left alone.
