Here's what would change everything.

I don't know that it'll happen, but if you want some optimism, all it would take is to draw this diagram into a better form.

And then every time there's a story that could be better understood by this landscape, you print it with a story, and then you highlight the parts that have been activated.

For example, some people say, I don't know if this is true, but some say the FBI is more influencing the New York Times, whereas the CIA is more influencing the Washington Post.

I don't know if that's true, but wouldn't it be interesting to see a story in the news where you could light up these parts and show which ones were involved?

So once you could show the landscape and how different it is on the Republican side, you could possibly for the first time release some of the Democrats who, in my opinion, are just victims.

I have to say that in 2016, when I started talking about politics in public...

And, you know, it'd be a big fight between one side versus the other side.

And to me, it just felt like, oh, we just have different opinions.

Different opinions, that's all.

And we're fighting it out.

That's the way it's supposed to work.

But once I learned the entire landscape, and I realized that their opinions are assigned to them, and then they're solidified by this entire constellation of, let's say,

people who are just slapping some paint on the turd, if you know what I mean.

That once you understand the whole landscape, you understand that they're not legitimate actors in a legitimate process.

They're actually victims.

And so I've started treating my Democrat brainwashed critics with sympathy.

And I just say, I'm sorry they did this to you.

Because that's my actual feeling.

I don't feel like they're attacking me because they had some independent, well-researched thought.
