The Establishment Limits

There is nothing wrong with your TV screen. Do not attempt to change the channel.

We are controlling the narrative. Whatever station you choose will tell you the same thing: get back in line. Or else. Do not move beyond the Establishment Limits.

We control who you imagine is electable. Nevermind if he stands for nothing and appears to understand even less. Nevermind if, when his face fills your screen, he only looks good because we’ve blurred everything you thought you knew.

You don’t need crystal clarity. You just need to participate in exactly the way we tell you to.

You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Establishment Limits.

(With apologies to The Outer Limits)
