What the hell is going on in US

That is called propaganda. Half of Twitter is bots and they post this nonsense to try to support their authoritarian regime.

Lead poisoning has been my working theory to explain the last 50 years.

Nah, plenty of younger folks think this way.

Who said the lead poisoning stopped?

it's not lead poisoning. it's people going insane because they live in internet/social media bubbles that lead to constant escalation reinforcement. you can see that nonsense here on lemmy in this very thread where people reinforce a false narrative and then escalate it with more rumor and nonsense or cherry-pick facts from history/reality to reinforce the delusional narrative that the other side is 'evil' and refuse to acknowledge your own side is also evil.

People are so wrapped up in their political ideas and identities they are literally cutting off their noses and doing other deranged things all to 'own' the other side.

And they use this to justify violence against others and themselves.
