That could just be nostalgia but I must admit, there is a recent explosion of over representation of minority groups in our media. Some believe this to be a nefarious plan to brainwash us into all being gay/trans/....black? I believe it to be nothing more than current, popular marketing and pandering. After all, liberalism is the majority in America. Does that make it bad, evil or wrong? I don’t think so, but I’ll be the first to admit that is opinion and not fact. But because of hyper polarization, it’s near impossible to have these kinds of conversations. The extremes represent both sides in the media. Fox would have all of their viewers believe that anyone who voted for Biden is a blue haired, soy drinking, child transitioning, CRT teaching, vax stabbing NPC, while the left’s media would have their viewers equally shitty things about the entire right. Where in reality, most people aren’t polar extremes, and there is a lot we could agree on.
Very true. Or there are things we could find middle ground on. Like ive found with some Bernie voters. I’m 41 so I think part of its nostalgia but I do think the over representation can be lazy and as a black person I’m personally tired of the “racism is everywhere” talking points. But you are right. It is popular marketing and that’s what gets people talking. But there is plenty of older shows and books to read for me.
In the movie zeitgeist at the end they talk about combining the best of conservatives and liberals to make an ideal society. You should check it out.
Zeitgeist, zeitgeist: addendum and zeitgeist: moving forward are all movies that I have nostalgia for, as they were integral in my questioning of reality.
I knew there was more common ground in there if we just dug a little deeper.

Absolutely. Glad to see that.
Honestly, me too.
Now as an experiment, you should try telling consumeproduct that you’re a black conservative....
