Hmmm I wonder if it's less to do with the pandemic though and more to do with social media.

Or maybe also that no governments appear to be truly willing to work on or address serious and major issues. Fact is liberal democracy IS failing, because governments are simply put not doing their jobs. Governing for ideology and votes, not what's in the best interest of citizens.
