What immediately comes to mind is the stuff I know little about, like the small-time right-wing newsletters stuffing my father's email. I imagine there are many thousands of these. Some have specific axe(s) to grind, Joseph Mercola, Steve Kirsch, Daystar, Anthony Watts or Tony Heller, others are ad-revenue chasers riding the coattails of bigger brands. Second, explicitly political groups like "Catholics for Trump" that I noticed in 2016. Third, the big names like Fox News, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, InfoWars, etc. It's not always liberals and conservatives; sometimes it's a related dichotomy like elitists vs real Americans, but they all tend toward black-and-white, us-vs-them, fear-oriented worldviews and mentalities.
