Donald Trump has lost nearly 10% of voters—almost 20% of his support—since his election last year. He’s done so largely because he’s pursued the policies he ran on, and most people hate them.

Who is at fault for voters not understanding what he ran on? I’d say the press is largely culpable.

I guarantee that anyone who survived a Dem primary would have lost the general election, because in the end the problem was the utterly poisoned information space that, for example, convinced Trump voters that he would be *so good* for the economy despite promising to *crash it*, repeatedly.

I need to write the whole piece about this, but the thing to understand is that the NYT is now just Facebook. The platform dictates narrative to normies, is totally gamed by the right, and is still so ubiquitous as to be unavoidable even by those who see how broken it is. It's just Facebook.

You: What I really want is Star Trek: West Wing--

Me: Star Trek: Grand Designs, a show about people unadvisedly homesteading on colonies and derelict alien structures, their plans falling, occasionally putting themselves in peril, all while being chided by a skeptical English Starfleet architect.

For the last year or so I've been co-writing a video game. The trailer just went live. Give 'er a peep.

They even used a speech I wrote in the trailer. Neat!
