Steve Bannon once said in 2018:
"The real opposition is the media. The way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit. Every day, we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done."

This isn’t just a quote. It’s a blueprint.
It's called: "Flooding the zone."
Overwhelm the public.
Distract, distort, and desensitize.
While we chase headlines, they pass laws.
While we argue over noise, they consolidate power.
While we scroll and squabble over culture war bait & nonsense, they codify authoritarianism and tighten the noose.
The strategy:
Weaponize chaos.
Exploit attention.
Ram through control.
The solution:
Stay focused.
Track the legislation.
Follow the money.
Don’t let the noise become the narrative.
Alternative: avoid it, ignore it, laugh at it.
Good to be friends with mother Russia...
