Good Guys & Bad Guys
"We divide the world into good guys and bad guys when we feel uncertain. When we need the world to make sense. When we have no footing, no ground. We need an enemy and we need a hero to make ourselves feel safe.
The reason Fox and CNN can control the minds of so many is that they propagate this narrative structure. It’s a cheap trick, old as time: us vs them. Republicans are good. Democrats are evil. Democrats are good. Republicans are evil. They are bad, we are good. There is no middle ground. No gray. Black and white. Simple.
It’s not simple.
It’s lazy."
