I was thinking reality TV where a lot of it is scripted. But things have switched up.
That exchange at the white house... It was like those WWF dramas they used to have back in the late 1980's. You know, Vince McMahon and all the antics that went on outside the ring but still center stage?
The difference here is that back in the WWF, everyone knew it was fake and didn't care. This current situation is clearly fake because the acting is so bad, and yet a whole lot of people think it's real.
Have you ever been to a theatre to watch a movie and there are folks in the crowd who appear to think it's real? Caught up in the moment?
I feel like I'm sitting in a theatre trying to enjoy the show, and the boomers in front of me are losing their shit at the baddie for doing the baddie things, and cheering on the goodie for no particular reason except that the emotive musical score is prompting them to do so.
