There’s been a lot of recent talk about the media elites’ capitulation, and how we are seeing all that “in advance” of the orange dude’s inauguration.
You’ve got ABC caving, and Time Magazine groveling at his feet. It's JVL's first point here.
But maybe everyone should run with that notion and even overdo it - big time?
What if one of the so-called “Sexy Magazine” publications named the Leader “Sexiest Man of the Year”? Imagine the level of ingratiation that the Leader might initially feel from that kind of accolade, especially if everybody else jumps on board and keeps it going. Whether it’s settling his frivolous lawsuits to signify reverence and capitulation, or sheer praise designed to stroke his ego, what if the country’s semi-free media just overwhelms him with praise and admiration?
It’s basically The Emperor’s New Clothes. Pretending that it’s brilliant – that he’s brilliant – and then wait… wait for his insecurities to start sinking in. Wait for him and his cronies to realize that he’s the butt of a nation-wide joke: Sexiest Man of the Year, et al., my @$$. Wait until he realizes that all of these WINS are just milk money and lip service, and nobody is really all that afraid of the bully. Let that sink into his brain – maybe there’s a chance that it will explode?
But is that scenario just a short-term amusement? Small gabs that simply shine a bright light on his narcissism, while everyone secretly laughs at his foolishness?
What then?
Does he go ape sh!t and, instead of suing his perceived media enemies to achieve capitulation, what if he just starts having the CEOs of these organizations murdered instead? That’s a Putinesque response, right? That could be his notion of doubling-down, and of course since he gives these assassination orders as official acts, it’s legal – or at least not illegal, right?
Obviously, this idea needs to be thought out a little more… or a lot more.
