We're all used to the obvious rot and see it every day; Advil's Black Pain Equity campaign, pronoun sections on corporate meeting software, "safe injection sites" funded by municipal governments being a hot bed for drug abuse. That stuff is so brazen that anybody with a brain and without an agenda will be repelled immediately.
But what about the subtle rot? I'll use the Onion as an example. Perhaps its a bad example since they are a good showing of obvious rot, but I just learned that they purged their old African-American neighborhood terrorized by ask murderer headline and it happened with no fanfare at all. A slow purging of old material deemed ungood; a memory holing except for the fact that the Onion used to be printed on paper and people just took pictures of the old headline. But the point stands -- I had no idea it was purged until I deliberately went looking for it, and its the only old "edgy" Onion headline that appears to have been purged in this fashion.
What else have others observed?
Yea, I think a majority of the "vote blue no matter who" crowd goes along with "i don't like talking about politics, they are all corrupt" because tv tells them "republicans only help millionaires, democrats help poor people". They literally think cnn/cbs/abc means they are getting a diversity of opinions. And they don't have time to research anything or desire to learn anything because funko-pops/kardashians/marvel movies etc.
