The saddest, most pathetic part of this "approved information only" campaign is that the average Joe couldn't care less. He gets his sports scores and facebook, the random scandal of the sex lives of B-list celebrities, and scripted political commentary meant to be meaningful only enough for him to mutter, "that's bullshit!" under his breath before moving on to check the ammo prices at Bass Pro. He wasn't upset when he learned that the NSA intercepts and stores every bit of electronic communication from his texts and emails, wasn't distressed that the DHS formed a "governance board" to determine the truth and eliminate mal-, mis-, dis- and all other unapproved information from public discourse, and he won't be upset to learn that all dissent has vanished from his screen. He never bothered to read it anyway. New restaurant, new song, new (fake) scandal, new Netflix series, the next new car or vacation, those are the important things day-to-day. My body, electric powered, vaccine to save grandma, institutional oppression, six million, pride in all things (except you), DEI, nobody needs 30 rounds, and we know what's best for you are the approved messages. Sounds reasonable. They had better get rid of those trouble makers before they trick me and I am selected for reeducation.
