I get my news primarily from Substack, X, YouTube, and Podcast. George Orwell 1984 appears to be playbook. Truly think this Blue vs Red is only designed to divide and conquer us all.

I'd be interested to hear what others think. I think the people screaming the loudest are the ones who used to rely on legacy media and intuitively think it still influences the way they remember. Many local elected officials practically obsessed over what was written or not written in the local newspaper far after its influence had waned dramatically.
