Americans need an “us vs them” proposition to get emotionally invested enough to get off the couch and vote.
The tariffs costing us jobs play well because we’re told we’re making “them” pay, just like we made “them” build the wall.
Half the country has been conditioned to associate ecological and public transit work as woke socialism, and only get emotionally motivated by hurting/punishing whoever “them” is during election season.
The people with enough money to buy media empires will invest whatever it takes to make sure they’re not the next “them.”
