New Theory: The normalization about being open about your politics and constantly talking about politics online was a psyop made to help train the pre-crime prediction algorithms that are being created right now.
People's ideological leanings influence how they follow the law and what laws they might break in certain situations. Problem is that talking about politics has been pretty taboo in most certain situations until in recent years. You could gather information based on what news they consume, but a person isn't going to agree with all of the talking points of said news outlet. So the best thing to do is to get celebrities to be more open about their politics on social media and then get everyone else arguing about them. Then, eventually the AI algorithms can determine who is more likely to break a law based on the people who think said law is "unfair". They know that you most likely committed a crime given the arguments you had with people online over the years.
