Merriam-Webster announces polarisation' as 2024 word of the year
Briefly

Polarisation reflects a significant societal trend, illustrating how we are increasingly leaning towards extreme viewpoints, rather than finding middle ground in discussions.
About eight in 10 Kamala Harris voters were concerned that Trump’s views were too extreme, while a similar number of Trump voters had the same concerns about Harris.
Merriam-Webster's choice of 'polarization' as the 2024 word of the year highlights the growing divide in the political landscape, especially following the recent election.
The 2023 word 'authentic' being chosen underscores a national struggle to agree on what constitutes reality, further hinting at the disconnect in public discourse.
