Yeah, just like there was a whole bunch of people going crazy four years ago, when Trump got elected.

America is extremely divided, and I'm not sure that it's going to recover from this (which I personally, as a foreigner, find very very sad).

Sadly without re-regulating the news it isn't, or some large trauma that brings the entire country temporarily together.

In the US we historically had similar problems, so something called the fairness doctrine was created. It was a law that required news give equal airtime for opposing views. This way no matter where you got your news you'd get the full truth, not half truths as the current American populous is getting.
