Summary

Rage bait isn’t just a trend — it’s the 2025 Oxford Word of the Year, and Chris Cuomo says that tells you everything about where American politics and media are headed. He breaks down how algorithms, influencers, and outrage merchants on both the right and left have replaced real public sentiment with manufactured fury, turning selective outrage into a political force that now dictates our reality. Social media has become the new “vox populi,” and the loudest voices — not the most honest ones — keep winning. Cuomo explains why influencers who push anger grow faster than anyone else, how rage bait now shapes everything from immigration debates to Venezuela strikes to misinformation around vaccines, and why political violence keeps rising. He also breaks down how Trump’s moves — from ICE deployments to unilateral military actions — are engineered to fuel the cycle, and reflects on his own experience in this ecosystem, including why he refuses to play the rage-for-profit game and why rejecting outrage is the only way voters can regain agency."
