It Did Happen Here 2020 WAS OUR REPRIEVE AFTER A BRUSH WITH AUTHORITARIANISM. JOE BIDEN SMILING AT LECTERN GUY WIPING BROW - WHEW, THAT WAS CLOSE! JANUARY 6 SEEMED TO BRIEFLY MAKE THIS CLEAR TO EVERYONE. THEN MUCH OF THE MEDIA FORGOT ALL OF THAT AND REVERTED TO FAMILIAR NARRATIVES. TV PUNDIT ON PUTZ TALK - HOW DARE BIDEN POLITICIZE THE MIDTERMS BY ARGUING DEMOCRACY IS AT RISK? TV PUNDIT 2 - ORDINARY AMERICANS ARE PUT OFF BY ACADEMIC JARGON THEY JUST LEARNED ABOUT FROM ME! IN THE END IT WAS A CATCH-22. GROUP OF PEOPLE - HEY, WE'RE FEELING A LITTLE EXISTENTIALLY THREATENED OVER HERE. TV PUNDIT - SO ELITIST AND POLARIZING! YOU MUSTN'T ALIENATE THE PEOPLE WHO DEMONIZE YOU. WE HAD THIS ONE CHANCE... WOMAN LOOKING AT PHONE - HMM... WE'RE BLAMING THE MOST VULNERABLE GROUPS INSTEAD OF GROTESQUE ABUSERS AND THEIR DERANGED PROPAGANDA. WHERE HAVE I HEARD THAT BEFORE? ...AND WE BLEW IT. © 2024 Jen Sorensen - Be a subscriber! jensorensen.com/subscribe
