It’s all just bad, bad, bad, made even worse by the fact that the government is doing it.

Sad but true. Worst of all, this is what we voted for. Our next opportunity is in November. Perhaps we’ll vote differently now that the reality is really hitting home.

I didn’t vote for it! In 2016, I sat on the kitchen floor and cried when I heard that Trump had been elected. I hope you are right about all those other people who did vote for it. I hope we can repair the damage his administration has done. I hope.

Fascinating look at how media is being used within books and other narratives like politics to persuade, or whatever the intent. As always, you bring us new perspectives and facts to consider.

To me what’s so scary is what our own government is doing. That’s before various actors in the social media world create their own narrative. The fictional references just add to the what might be coming next question.
