the real power is in boardrooms though.
boomer dichotomy big gov/little gov is not the point any more
>that is not how the normies see it
you're implying we have to invent a reality based around how the normies see it - meme based on how the normies see it?
seems like plato's cave stuff

how reasonable it all was before the clownworld days
at least the public face was reasonable
Right.
This is an area we have traditionally been very bad at.
I understand your point.
However I think Branco's intent was that he thought he was being accurate - "big government is the problem"
Your case is "it's the right message for the normies so it doesn't matter if it's technically right"
I think the problem is that deciding what is the "right message" requires central planning, which we don't have.
Traditionally, these attempts to have the "right message" have fallen flat on their face because we can;t get a large group to agree with the right message is.
So instead, we end up with an inertial message - an anachronistic message, that is the message of the previous decade, like "big government is the problem"
I've long wished there was central planning we could collectively trust. Trump's doesn't seem great. Because he's also playing these games of messaging to various groups
