Hahhaa ok sure, buddy. Big news for advertising.
If we can manufacture demand, then supply-side economics is the way to go, full stop. Youre a big fan of Reagan, I take it?
That is not the implication of the ability to make others want things. Also, I clearly stated that the fault lies with both the producer of materials and the consumer.
Advertising does work, yes, but only for products in which demand already exists. No significant amount of people will buy a hand-cutting-off machine no matter how it is advertised.
The radicalization began decades ago, initially couched in racial resentment, and has spread largely via Americans’ innate dissatisfaction with government, which goes back literally hundreds of years.
This resentment has certainly been fostered, even engineered, and I would separate those who have directly engineered or manipulated such resentment (e.g. Benghazi trials, trans panic, Critical Race Theory) with those who merely profit from it.
Two very different groups, imo.
