Yup, pure gold.
Unfortunately, we do. Look at how aligned all of our institutions were against Trump, even the federal government itself.
Some decades ago, I was in a meeting with the head of public relations for a major corporation. I was struck then by his statement that they concentrated on reaching the 10,000 families that really mattered in influencing public opinion.

And have you considered how people actually attain high office in the US -- the actual process of becoming a Senator or Governor, rather than the electoral fantasy taught in school civics.
The ruling class controls what’s on the media and tells the social media what to promote and what to suppress. They are very skilled at it. The narrative went from covid to Ukraine overnight.
Any time something dominates the headlines, there is an agenda at work and the narrative is a total fabrication.
think: Hollywood, Media Moguls, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, George Soros, Sacklers, you’ll be on the right track as to who counts here.
