I mean this is just the truth isnt it?

"I don’t think people read anymore. They just consumed ten second TikTok rants and have no intellectual curiosity about the content whatsoever."

Politics has ceased to be about facts, or reason, or acknowledgement of a messy world with complex and imperfect trade offs. It's just about how you feel and most people feel pretty f**king angry and let down. But generally people feel pretty good about the party telling them that they know all the answers (they dont - I've read the Reform policy doc and its jam today for everyone without any idea of how), not least because most of the answers will involve s**tting on brown people. I think a lot of people really like that last bit, even though they wont say it out loud.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." Lyndon B Johnson.
