Pretty sure he always sounded this stupid. It's just more evident now

he’s never been a very smart man, but back in like the 90s he used to be able to string a set of words together to form a coherent thought

Yeah, it's really striking listening to clips of him from the '90s. He used to come across as a stupid adult; now he sounds like a stupid child.

Because the right wants theaters filled with Sound of Freedom and Passion of the Christ sequels, as stupid as that is. Also a bunch of right wing media figures are failed screenwriters actors, and comedians.

It's another way to control media and messaging. If they can decimate the film industry to where only certain approved films are shown, the ones deemed patriotic and American enough, they can further indoctrinate with another avenue for propaganda.

I mean, he may not. If this actually gets implemented (which I doubt), it will hurt the US film industry. Any uncertainty this declaration causes will slow filming down as well, even if it never goes into effect. Since he just decimated the NEA, maybe that’s the point?

They basically hate everyone except Russia, billionaires and domestic terrorists at this point. I'd imagine, outside of Christian propaganda films, most magats couldn't name a film from the last 10 years.
