What Causes a ‘Social Bubble’ in Politics?

A social bubble happens when people only hang out with others who think and act like them, making politics feel strange or unfair.

Imagine you're in a magical forest where everyone wears the same color cloak. You wear blue, and your friends all wear blue too. But there's another part of the forest where everyone wears red cloaks. They talk about different things and have different rules. When people from the blue group meet people from the red group, they don’t understand each other very well, it’s like a big social bubble.

People in a social bubble are surrounded by others who share their opinions, hobbies, or lifestyles. This makes it easy to believe that everyone agrees with them, even when they’re not right. It's like being in a cozy cave, you feel safe and warm, but the outside world seems loud and confusing.

When people only hear from those inside their social bubble, politics can feel like a game where everyone is on the same team. But in reality, there are many teams out there with different ideas!
