>How much does domination of the media help vs hurt. In the one hand, it does feel like the culture moved left under liberals over the past 10 years, and part of that seems top down, the expansion of cultural studies in universities to everyone talking about privilege in 2024.
An alternate argument could be made that when we started to see a rise in pushback against corporations in the early 2010s (eg. Occupy Wallstreet) all of a sudden the narrative shifted towards 'socially progressive' ideology. Was that a manufactured narrative?
Now we are seeing a strong pushback against that ideology but in my opinion we are just repeating history, the young people supporting the right didn't experience the great recession and once they learn the pain of what the right brings to the country every time they take office, there will be yet another generation that will have been burned. The left just needs to survive these next 3.2 years. If they can make it, then there is tremendous opportunity for reform.
