They keep talking to "Former Qanon", " Trump voter", "Proud Boy"

28. Excellent point, but I think the answer is simple.

I may be wrong, of course, but I think that good governance is intrinsically uninteresting, except to wonks. There is a vast gulf between the wonks:100 here, as to the wonks:100 in the general population.

Those cretins, on the other hand, are like a sideshow for the population. "Soon the Gypsy Queen, in a glaze of Vaseline will perform on guillotine, what scene, what a scene."

They have never watched ridiculous-looking people like these get on TV and be their crazy selves, unabashed in front of millions. Maybe wanting to have their psychoses paraded in front of millions.

Honest to God, there are some that would watch a public execution. Now THERE are some family values.

But how many people have ever even seen, let alone met, a loon like QAnon Shaman? Or hear people - even people in GOVERNMENT, for the love of God - say that a former Presidential candidate, someone who has been in the public eye since the 80's, sacrifices children and drinks their blood?

A large swath of the population just can't look away. That kind of spectacle builds ratings. A bill working its way through Congress doesn't.
