So true. Politics (especially) in American has become a TV series basically. Both politicians and the media are feeding of each other and they love it. Politicians get exposure, the media makes money with the help of whoever is still consuming their bullcrap propaganda. :-)

Fortunately, more and more people are figuring this con game out, about half of the population not voting anymore.

Check out HyperNormalisation if you haven't seen it already. I think you might like it. :-) It talks about world politics, technology, the military industry, the clusterf+ck in the Middle East starting from the '70 to today's age... It ties everything together without going into the conspiracy-theories field. You don't really need to go all conspiratorial, just put historical facts together. Really well made documentary.
