there are lots of folks these days who are used to getting their data in bullet points and sound bytes.
the previous generations made sure and established a context on answering or discussing questions.
it is a generation that takes a while to get to the bullet point... but if folks tune out before the context is painted, and expect simple bam, bam, bam,... “here’s my points list, now I am done” they will become easily fooled by misquotes and non-contextual statements by the “bullet point” media who have ulterior motives.
we are too used to fast food and fast data. things need time to percolate and cook. fresh brewed coffee is always better than instant in my book. tea that is steeped a bit before serving has more punch to it.
I like trump’s tone and the verbal foreplay he uses to build the big picture. Attention deficit disorder is a symptom of “do it now” all the time, that has in some ways really hurt our culture.
Your entire post has me smiling. I'm in total agreement with you.
