To solve our daunting conundrum, we must look toward the internet and what many contemporaries call “social media.” Our current generation of young and bright minds already strive to create their own little “safe spaces” if you will. These aptly named spaces allow users to share their thoughts among those with similar opinions, creating an “echo chamber” of thoughts (Political Polarity: Does Social Media). But, more importantly, if we were to bolster our efforts in this field, these sanctuaries easily remedy two key issues while also providing multiple advantages.

Second, safe spaces would naturally propagate our plan to divide the nation into two separate ideological entities. Americans would only be exposed to information that they agree with, therefore obscuring them from any information whatsoever from the other side. Our solution is perfect, yet our contemporaries still deny us, claiming the idea of censoring and controlling the internet is impossible. We would like to tell them to look at China’s government, which efficiently combats the dangers of free internet, blocking countless social-media and sharing sites (Jacobs). China’s government proves the internet can be efficiently regulated with enough resources. With a reasonable amount of research and development, safe spaces can essentially become 100% efficient at warding off internet trolls and side-effects of knowing the truth. However, the internet is only a preliminary step to our infallible
