As expected with the crops we've been calling cream. This anti-intellectualism running its course.

Always has been. Politics is not about truth, only perception, influence and control.

It can be done. It just can't be done the way America has done it.

Would this not be a form of aura farming?

Since nobody here explained what TF "aura farming" is, here's what DuckDuckGo's AI told me:
"Aura farming is a social media trend where individuals intentionally project a cool or impressive persona to gain admiration, often without appearing to try too hard. It involves curating one's image and behavior to enhance their "cool factor" while avoiding overt displays of effort."
So, the image & perception comment was on-target, then.

From the article
"Aura farming is an earnest attempt to look cool. Vice President JD Vance was aura farming when he declared he would take vengeance for Charlie Kirk. Trump was aura farming when he threatened to jail Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. Pritzker was aura farming when he responded with “Come and get me.” And Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was aura farming when she paraded on the roof of Portland’s ICE facility in supposed defiance of antifa."
