Funny how the in-depth analysis of motivations is strictly in one direction, ratcheting the Overton window forever rightward.

On one hand we had mountains of articles about "economic anxiety" & "The MAGA next door" in 2016. On the flip side is "Fuck your feelings" and never a "humanizing, fish out of water" longform article about the life of a Democratic Socialist in a small Texas town after Biden 2020.

I disagree with your perceptions about media bias.

I’m not telling you it’s a moral obligation to understand. It’s in your interest.

Explain. Hopefully with details on how that tactic was utilized by the most politically effective group in the US in the past 50 years - the Heritage Foundation.
