Why Extremism is WINNING in America

from The Chris Cuomo Project · host Chris Cuomo

Monday’s mass shooting in Manhattan prompts Chris Cuomo to dig into what he believes is the real root cause: a culture of extremism that’s been supercharged by social media. Cuomo examines how algorithm-driven outrage, partisan politics, and a warped incentive structure are creating an environment that fuels radicalism — not just abroad, but at home. From CTE and mental illness to algorithms and ideology, Cuomo warns that America’s growing appetite for destruction is no longer just rhetorical. It’s being acted out in real time, and unless we recalibrate what we reward in our politics and culture, the violence will only escalate.
