There is no more Democracy, there is no more Republic….
There is only Corporatocracy.
There are no longer Dem nor GOP, nor "Progressive", nor "Libertarian Politicians…..
Just Corporate Political shills.
The "news", regardless whether spun as "left" or "right", is merely mindless & distractionary entertainment.
similarly, "partisan" politics, regardless whether spun as "left" or "right", "Liberal" or "Conservative" has devolved merely to mindless & distractionary entertainment.
D.C. is the East Coast Hollywood.
PR Spin has completely displaced reality.
Just as every Hollywood Actor has their PR/Publicist Rep. to create entertaining/distractionary spin, so also goes for every Politician.
Of ALL parties.
WELCOME TO PLATO'S CAVE.
