2015 is the clear inflection point
Yup. A small drop due to 2008 financial crash’s after effects. Then a steady rise back. And 2014-15-16 everything crumbles down.
Is there consensus as to why?
Social media and rise of foreign interference in elections, paired with massive increases in inequality.
Eh. Obviously not great and of course it will get worse but a scale from 5.2 to 5.6 is bound to look extreme in either direction.
