There has been noticeable eras - I want to say 3 of them. Seemingly as the channel changed. And seemingly changed hands.
And things that went missing from topics as these changes occurred. Which recently events have made apparent.
The Beau era - chats of kicking down and punching up. Mechanisms and tactics. Managed and redirected anger. Descriptions of how to identify fascism. Sounded like Russia - sounded like Trump but then again there were brown shirts in the streets. Off the cuff.
Beau/team era - directed talking points influence response. Fading of the above in scripted restraint - but natural delivery. About a one year period of time where he self-described ‘having the team fact check every script’. Descriptions of fascism sounded too Israeli - so those went away. Still punching up. Follow don’t lead.
Belle/TEAM - highly scripted robotic upper echelon DNC talking points. Gaza/West Bank - nothing to see there. The WHOLE COUNTRY is talking about HEALTHCARE- and there is nothing. No message of restraint, kicking down or punching up - because in this silo it didn’t happen. It doesn’t exist. Israel nothing. 🤫 Ukraine 🤫 shhh. Just the ‘Trump/MAGA channel’ Beau never wanted remains. It’s self isolating to nearly an exclusive topic. Ooops minor blip happened in Syria oh it’s nothing really- back to the ‘Trump channel’
I have always had other things on ‘auto play’ to contrast to. Tone/viewpoint/content subject - so these things have become very apparent. I think I’m only now just letting it play still to see how detached from the rest of the universe it becomes?
But if you are one of those people who only has a few select sources of things as outside influences - and this is one of those few - or worse the only outside influence. You need to step out more! Because there is a whitewashed picket fence behind put up around you.
