Conservatives used to hold to tenets like owing a duty to society, being part of something bigger. Somewhere around the Reagan era when the last limits were taken off the obscenely rich owning American politics, that all changed and avoiding mutual reliance and obligation became their thing.

Agree, completely. Also, itβs interesting that this timeline starts in 1945; thereβs a whole history of journalism way before that, which is more analogous to our own era.

I agree but we are also seeing people mobilizing to stop ICE when their neighborhoods are invaded and also protest with others. Prices are up. All this is real life being experienced and goes beyond what is seen on phones. Disapproval is at 60%. Things are escaping the controlled info spheres

The pipeline between a thing happening and people knowing about it (and understanding it in context) has collapsed to the point most people no longer have any idea what's going on.
The timeline is unsettling because it's clear how we got here AND that there's no obvious course correction available.
