And I'm not talking about "officer involved shooting" or language that would feature in a Citations Needed episode, I'm asking for niche. My example:

When you read a long form interview and the interviewer has to open the piece with describing them entering, what they ordered for lunch, etc in the most flowery language.

"Mr. Hex Bear greeted me with a comfortable yet quaint handshake. The disheveled, patchy beard paired with a stained hoody gave off the impression that he was a common man, but his lunch choice said the opposite. He ordered the Truffle Salad, a glass of 1989 Cabernet, and mentioned the chef by name, asked the waiter how his children were. From the moment Hex sat down, he never broke eye contact with me, but exuded a confidence that made it seem like he did this every day."

This is a weird post and feel no need to respond.

    Seeing this quite late, but great thoughts. Yeah, when I would hate read these articles, it was always pretty obvious to me that this political division was largely manufactured, because no one wants to address that what almost all people share politically in this country is a threat to capital.

    I don't know anyone around me that doesn't believe in universal healthcare and some kind of public retirement system, but I never really see that talked about. Just the fact that like 80% of people in this country support it, but it's never brought up as a bipartisan way to heal. In fact, it has to be purposely obfuscated.
