The "bothsides" media can't even do much with it. "On one hand, the Biden Administration passed a wildly popular $1.9 trillion relief bill cutting child poverty in half, on the other hand, you can't buy 6 Dr. Seuss books you'd never heard of, wch has nothing to do with Biden."

The dirty secret of the right's 50+ year war on the supposed "liberal media" is that they were desperately reliant on being included by that mainstream media and treated like a responsible participant in modern politics, even tho they frequently did not fit that description.

Fox, WSJ, National Review, etc. needed non-right wing outlets to take their work seriously enough to feel obliged to respond to what they were putting out. Fox at this point is just Infowars and Breitbart ca. 2014. What's even the point of engaging with it?

This all might be wishful thinking, but I just have a hard time seeing Antifa-phantoms or Mr. Potato Head's imaginary penis being a bigger electoral draw for new voters than $1.9 trillion in targeted relief for struggling citizens.

it's like model drift in, e.g., ml modeling. so, ideology as a representation of world that is instantiated in a model—a model that no longer accurately represents (let alone captures) that world. it isn't just that its predictive power fails, it's that the model itself is kaput.

The republican dogma for orienting in the political landscape has become: When reality fails to match the map, use the map.
