Oh, it is all scripted. I've been thinking a lot lately about the odd correlation between reality tv and these events.  I used to just think that reality shows were a cheap way to produce 'drama.' I now think they conditioned the audience to accept what is false and scripted with that which is true/authentic. This also served to shift the focus from the story to the personalities of people involved. Trump of course is well placed to master this forum--I'm not really commenting on that--although it does create certain interesting paths for potential analysis of the current movie. I am currently in Seattle and it is like the Tale of Two Deranged Cities--on the one hand I am like the only person not wearing a mask, practically--and on the other hand, people are completely protesting cheek by jowl--participants in these fake dramas with no cognition that they are merely willing dupes. People are scared, harried and convinced that this is all the result of some maniacal Trump problem. The city is on the verge of bankruptcy--stores are not open, people are discouraged from going out--there has been a 5pm and a 6pm curfew--which I guess is just a way to arrest protesters--if need be while furthering their psyop. They do not want to re-open. Masks are required in stores that didn't require them a week ago--we had to make a reservation to go to an outdoor nursery. It is creepy and I hate that I have to be here.
