Summary
Donald Trump is reshaping U.S. culture through a propaganda-driven strategy that rebrands symbols and controls narratives.
His actions include renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, issuing numerous executive orders, pressuring media outlets, and taking over cultural institutions like the Kennedy Center.
These moves, aimed at consolidating power and curbing dissent, mirror tactics used by authoritarian regimes, as the administration uses symbolism, legal challenges, and media manipulation to control public discourse.
That’s a very one-sided take. It leaves out one of the most important factors, the media and their role in censoring and magnifying news to fit the political identities of their consumers. Had they been accurately reporting on Trump’s actions and results first-term, no human being in their right minds would have elected him a second time.
You realize the first ones to boost trump was Hillary and the DNC…
Right?
Like I shouldn’t assume people lived thru it, it was 9 years ago, you might not have been paying attention to politics then.

They knew people didn’t like Hillary and that nothing would change that.
So they found the worst person possible and talked him into running to make Hillary be the best choice. And still fucked it up.
