Across the Atlantic: Navigating American Politics through Europe's Lens
The discussion, deeply rooted in perceptions of American politics from a European perspective, highlights the complexities of how both media narratives and personal experiences shape the understanding of political reality. This disparity is evident in the way American political figures and policies are perceived differently across the Atlantic. At the core of the conversation is the concept of the “filter bubble,” which refers to how social media and news outlets create personalized informational environments that reinforce existing beliefs and opinions. The participants in the discussion reflect on how these filter bubbles have influenced their perceptions of issues such as U.S. economic policies, immigration, and partisan politics.
