Idk how much of this actually matters to real people
Media overfocuses on or Obamna mustard incident or above but does anyone actually care that much outside of civility lib/right-wing TV ghoul optics media circles? It's funny I guess
It's mostly manufactured imo, people think is cringe cuz the media/electioneering people said it was cringe but is it actually any more nationalistic or military-death-cult-pilled or "trying too hard" in substance than what any other president/president candidate does?
Examining actual material factors like circumstances of class rule and how the capitalist class decides which guy gets to represent them is out of the question, so at best we get OBJECTIVE REASONABLE POLICY DISCUSSION or at worst completely vibes based politics like Gerald Ford lost Texas cuz he ate a tamale the wrong way :) (these not necessarily mutually exclusive ofc) to justify what happens after the fact while obscuring the class power behind it
Yeah I agree, so much of news media is like "oh people are saying such and such, people feel this way about that" and it either shows no source, uses a random tweet with minimal interaction, or shows an edited clip of some rando off the street who was likely asked a leading question.
But then Media Watchers run with it so it becomes true. Purely manufactured superstructural narrative that then reinforces or obfuscates the base relations.
But then people do vote based on incoherent vibes, so like maybe these gaffs did influence the outcome of the election. But I don't think most of them would have had any impact at all if the idea of them influencing the election wasn't incepted into the public consciousness in the first place.
But I think the degree to which this works is only because both sides are merely fighting over representation of various bourgeois and petty bourgeois interests. Materially identical so the differentiation focus is on aesthetics.
yeah it's a political dog and pony show to obscure the bipartisan death merchants and racketeer imperial and neocolonial monopolists behind the state structures. And how shallow it is says a lot about SOCIETY
