From my own anecdotal observations, it sure seems like that the worse it gets the more mainstream denialism becomes. I'm also seeing a rise of cartoonishly absurd conspiracy theories that look loosely something like: "the commie democrats are using secret weather machines to push their radical agenda!" Not sure how we're supposed to fix any of this in our lifetimes when reality itself is so easily trampled by culture war nonsense.
seems like there's still plenty of denial to go around
