We think audiences are numb to politics as usual. They know when they’re being manipulated. We have opted out of the political theater, the kayfabe, with all its posing and posturing. We are direct and blunt and honest, and we come across as exactly what we are.
This is IMO a great point, and true in general. I think “the meta” is sort of shifting and it’s the guys who try too hard to come off as diplomatic who are often behind the curve. This has good and bad sides (sometimes it means that political extremism wins out over common sense simply because it’s screechy and transgressive), but overall I think you got the pulse right on it.
