2015 is the clear inflection point

Yup. A small drop due to 2008 financial crash’s after effects. Then a steady rise back. And 2014-15-16 everything crumbles down.

Is there consensus as to why?

Social media and rise of foreign interference in elections, paired with massive increases in inequality.
