It's the media, Stupid!
That would indeed be a worthy subject. And as far as I know, it's never been done insofar as worth vs. valuation being the absolute focus.

You rock, Melissa Jo. And your input was invaluable.
It's so true what you say about millions of Americans take what they're fed every day as Bible.

Being in media for all those years, I knew liberals who’d say, “But he’s funny!” Punching down isn’t humor, but I also knew that millions of Americans take what we feed them every day as Bible. This is a great film about that by my colleague @jensenko.bsky.social tv.apple.com/us/movie/the...

Thank you for the mention, Helen. I'm honored to be among MacLean, Nelson and Mayer.

Thank you! I hope you’ll also consider adding a few Professor Nancy MacLean’s “Democracy in Chains” & Prof. Anne Nelson’s “Shadow Network,
Media, Money & the Secret Hub of the Radical Right” , Jane Mayer’s “Dark Money” to help understand today’s GOP & how we got here. See @jensenko.bsky.social too

Unless you find ways to break these right wing rituals, those rituals are going to break US democracy.
In fact, they may already have.

As @jensenko.bsky.social detailed in her experience with her father, the only way I've seen to unplug those ears is to unplug their media.
To change up their diet.
To hide their dumb cap.
Part of culture is pattern and what defines pattern is repetition.
Culture is ritual.

Herr Hitler (AKA, don's hero) built a reception hall. It was designed to be a grand space that could accommodate large ceremonies & events & could also be used as a ballroom.

It was added to the Old Reich Chancellery in 1933. The building was an impressive structure designed to project power.
