Outrage Fatigue: Are Americans Just Tired? | Data & Dissonance | 2/24/26

Every day feels urgent.
Every headline feels historic.
Every disagreement feels existential.

But are Americans actually more divided than ever… or are we just more plugged in than ever?

Tonight on Data & Dissonance, we step back from the tribal noise and ask a bigger question: Is outrage driving the country — or exhausting it? From media incentives and algorithm culture to activism, accountability, and emotional burnout, this episode digs into whether constant “breaking news” has rewired how we think, react, and engage.

No team jerseys.
No shouting match.
Just a real conversation about volume, incentives, and whether fatigue might actually be awareness.
