In the US, the media is often called the fourth branch of the government. Why? Because in a republic, the people between elections don't have any direct control over the three official branches of the government (executive, legislative, judicial), while the media serves as the only real-time public feedback/control channel. Today, the fourth branch of the government is not the traditional media, but a mix of podcasts, social influencers, blogs, etc. During the Biden term, the Democrats managed to lose control over that new media. There’s nobody like Joe Rogan on their side now. This means that the Democrats not only lost control over the three official branches of the government after the elections, but also that there’s no way for them to provide key inputs into the in-between-elections feedback/control system now. To me, this is the essence of the Democrats' current predicament. There are no thought leaders among them who could go on, e.g. the Joe Rogan show, and credibly represent the dissatisfied population. They could go to Ezra Kline or Jon Stuart, but that wouldn't move the needle. Maybe AOC could go on a Joe Rogan tour. Or Bill Mahr. The Democrats need to take a page from Trump's playbook and flood the zone.

Якщо пошта не приносить газети, а натомість розпосюджуються "Искра" - це теж не лише про зв'язок.
План захоплення влади та ще й бандитами (а не політиками). Розроблений німецькими військовими. Покроково, послідовно, профінансовано кожний крок. УСПІШНО втілений.
Невже таку гарну штуку і не використовують політтехнологи?
Я вважаю, що саме модифікацію того плану і використано, як у нас в Україні, так і в США. Дуже багато схожого. Напрочуд дуже багато. Занадто, аби бути збігом.
