see, trump running for office in '16 got too many people to start paying attention
before that, everyone was focused on the daily grind and checking out of life after wage slaving for the day to watch current tv show current movie while allowing the establishment to get away with whatever the fuck they wanted because whatever they were pushing seemed to come out of the blue with a faux "it's for your own good, trust us" message so it was eaten whole hog
essentially the genie has been let of the bottle and now the harder the establishment tries to put it back in, the more obvious their quest for utter control becomes and people are fighting back against it
notice how even tv shows and movies fucking suck ass these days? seems like they moved all their ghost script writers off hollywood atm and currently have them running narratives for the political establishment side of things
game fucking over
