        Yeah I was in California visiting family who watch TV. I haven’t had a TV with like, traditional local/ cable news on it, basically ever, and I’ve had practically no exposure since like, season 6 or 7 of the Simpsons. NGL, just seeing how far the brain rot has gone. Its like, actually mind-blowing and I feel like normies who aren’t versed in media analysis or criticism are legitimately cooked.

        Aaaanyways… to the point.

        Between episodes of Price is Right and other forms of propaganda, 100% of the ads were either for Steyer or against Steyer. The family member I was with could only name Steyer, in terms of name recognition. They couldnt name another single name of anyone else on stage.

          The only live shows I’ve watched in years is sports. Lately some NBA playoffs have been entertaining, but the ads are insufferable. I’ve been adverse to ads for a long time but especially the gambling ones are just ridiculous.

          If you haven’t been exposed to this shit in awhile, then yeah, I could totally see it being overwhelming. Hopefully Steyer can’t just buy enough name recognition to win, but sadly that seems to be one of the biggest drivers of turnout.
