There has been a concerted effort to move all human experience deeper into simulacra, like with those news channels using gambling markets instead of polling data now.

what's new is the far right trying to move everyone beyond truth, into a realm where nothing matters and it's fine if the president raped a few girls because a few years ago you heard that his enemies (which he calls stupid names so the idea sticks better) actually did even more evil things something something adrenochrome, and nobody actually knows whether the president is an evil pedophile because there are many stories about many things coming from every side and if they just saturate the media enough with stories a few well timed stories can change major upcoming events and that's how propaganda works now
