Thrilled to see the Breitbart Doctrine coming into this, but it's not the full version. Yes, "politics is downstream of culture." But based on Breitbart's career as an air-quotes "journalist" and how right-wing propaganda operates now, you can tell that he knew that "politics is downstream of culture, but culture is downstream of reality: If you change someone's perception of reality, their culture changes, and their politics change." We're not politically polarized in America; we are factually polarized. The right-wing propaganda machine has created a fantasy land where their policies fix problems that don't actually exist in the real world.

Miller, like Don Jr's daughter, are trying to appear very mainstream. It's a common propaganda trick. The good thing is that there are so many outlets to get information, that a lot of voices can get out. The bad thing, is that platforms like You Tube and Meta tend to silo people with their algorithms. Wish those platforms would dangle more variety to their users. I personally have never randomly followed an account due to a suggestion from a platform. I found people to follow via my own search based on my interests, reading newspapers, journals, etc, friends' suggestions and through the suggestions of people I already follow. I have unfollowed people after discovering the content wasn't for me. I wish platforms allowed for more organic discovery. Twitter in the early days did this and I found a number of opposing opinion people to follow because of it. I'd see someone I respected comment on a page, go to the account, then decide to follow them based on their different perspective and life experience than mine. I found it to be enriching in many ways. Now, it's become X and it's a cesspool.
